Having struggled and understood all that this will never, I finally get to record a channel while I watch another. The software is more than rustic. You really have to test everything and again! I'm still not prevent him to finish to turn off the TV when he finished recording, even with the "Standby" déactivée! Just a tip for new users: Get immediate software update (This is always that of 2012), and if you have an external hard drive formatted NTFS already even reformat it with the 2T Terms of the software.
