Can you record one show on a dvr and watch different show?

Yes, you can record one show on a DVR and watch a different show at the same time. This is because DVRs have multiple tuners, which allow them to record multiple shows simultaneously. For example, if you have a DVR with two tuners, you could record two shows at once and then watch a third show that is already recorded on the DVR.

To watch different show, change to the channel you want to watch. The recording function will not be affected.
