</div></div>To answer this question for your specific stuation, please tell us how<br>
are you receiving your TV signal at the moment. In general, the<br>
ability to watch TV and record simultaneously will require two<br>
physical tuners. It is possible to buy cards that contain multiple<br>
tuners (i.e. the newer Hauppauge HVR hybrid cards, or the older Nova-T<br>
500 (DVB-T) or PVR-500 (analog hw MPEG-2 cards).<br>
<br>
In some circumstances (i.e. you are using DVB/ATSC digital tuners that<br>
support multirec) it may be possible to watch TV and record multiple<br>
channels from a single physical tuner. However, it is very unlikely<br>
(although not impossible depending on your TV service) to be able to<br>
do this for all of the channels you can receive, so 2 physical tuners<br>
is usually the minimum requirement.<br>
<br>
