Hello,

I am a shaw subscriber with the Shaw digital box.

Is it possible to record a show and watch another channel at the same time?

As far as I know...NO....you must watch what you're recording.

Really? Isn't weird how you are able to do it without any problems with regular cable, but not with digital... isn't it supposed to make life easier =)

I believe the reason is because your tuner is being used while you are recording. You would probably need another tuner for it to be possible...

Correct...your tv has a tuner.....your VCR also has a tuner.....the digital box, however has a tuner built in....you never change your tv channel, right? Therefore, unless the digital box is a dual-tuner unit, you are stuck watching what you're recording, and vice versa.

Makes sense to me......

you can use a splitter as another tuner... you would only be able to watch analog tv though

wall to splitter
splitter to dct
splitter to tv

dct connects to tv using rca

your welcome

or you can get a PVR such as the DCT 6400 which has a dual tuner so you can record one show and watch another at the same time.
