My old vcr's broke down and i'm about to buy a recordable dvd with hdd instead.
Here's the hook: I want to be able to record two inputs (composite/scarts) at the same time. I have looked into some brands and models but most of them with dual tuners are indeed only able to record one channel while you're can watch enother. There's no way to record two inputs at the same time. :/

My humble question is: Do anybody actually knows a device that manage the task? I'm not buying this only for stereo-3d recording but it would sure be a nice feature to have (i have two vga-to-tv converters). Buying two cheap recordable dvd's is no option. Price span is around up to 400 euros.

Thanks!

I can't help you. I don't use one. I watch digital TV on a Motorola DCT6416 III. It's really a nice device.

  • It get the channels through a single input cable.
  • It has a dual tuner.
  • It allows to record two different tv channels at the same time and you can watch one of them while it's recording.
  • You can also record two different channels at the same time while you can watch a third show that you previously recorded.

There's no DVD recorder but even if I had one, I would not use it. I only need to record temporarily until I watch what I've recorded.

Yep. I've seen the recorders. Unfortunately the ones that are able to record two channels simultaneously can only record channels from the internal tuner. With two external signals it's unfortunately still no go. I guess getting a receiver should be fine as well if it's able to perform the desired task.
It's the same with some dvd's that actually have a dvb-t receiver. You can record two channels at the same time but it has to be two channels from the internal tuner...

Thank you anyway. :)
