How to watch a live broadcast show while recording two other shows

If you have a TV with a QAM tuner built in and you use a splitter to connect the cable to the cable/antenna input of your TV while leaving a connection to the DVR, you will be able to watch a broadcast show live while recording two other shows on your DVR.  I tried this and it worked, but the channels I had access to (that seemed to be ones I was interested in) were basically the broadcast channels (in my area 3.1, 6.1, 10.1, 12.1, etc.).  Obviously you don't have access to the other features such as on demand, but it's handy to be able to handle three shows at the same time as long as one is on one of the channels available with the direct connection to your TV.
Of course, this also provides a way to avoid the cost of additional set top boxes as long as you don't need access to the additional channels features like on demand.

OR if you're tv's older and doesn't have the qam tuner, you can hook up a HD antenna for 30 dollars, and if you live in an area that gets reasonable reception, you'll get something similiar to what you describe.
both are good solutions.

  • Is Facetime a realistic application to use if I want to watch a live broadcast of a volleyball match?

    Is facetime a realistic application to use if I want to watch a live broadcast of a volleyball match?
    I am the assistant for a girls volleyball team that is playing for a state championship, the same day my brother is getting married and I am the best man. Obviously I will be at the wedding, but I wawnt to be able to watch my team.

    I guess you've never been a best man before.  The best man has a lot of responsibilities for the entire wedding day.  You will be busy making sure the groom gets to the church, holding the ring, coordinating toasts, countersigning the official documents, etc.  You will not have time to watch a volleyball match.  Doing so will incur the Wrath of the Bride.  You do not want to incur the Wrath of the Bride, especially since she will be your sister-in-law.  It will haunt you forever, guaranteed.
    My advice would be to have someone record the game and you watch it later.  Get your head into the wedding and forget the volleyball game.

    How can anyone advise on such a cryptic post, all we can do is guess.
    Which version of Logic, what audio hardware are you using?
    Have you read the manual?

    What's your setup? Normally you hear all  tracks (that are not muted) in your headphones while you record a new one.

  • How to view score of one track while recording another.

    I want to record audio on one track. I want to read the notes and chords from another track while recording. ( I want to use the previously recorded track only for providing me with the score ) I would very much prefer to have Logic chase the score so that I know where I am in the arrangement while recording.
    I am aware I can print out the score as a a pdf file and view that, and its not so bad, however I would prefer Logic to follow along the score and let the playhead indicate the location.
    I can do this when not recording. I can view the previous track just before I go into recording, but when I go into recording, the score switches to showing currently track being recorded ( which is empty)

    Hi there,
    Floating Windows all but disappeared with Logic 8 and many of us mourn their passing. Although some windows are, by default, floating (eg transport), the only one that you can choose to make float nowadays is the Environment, useful if you're setting up faders or some other real-time control.

  • How do you switch to front camera while recording video?

    I have the iphone 5s and while I'm recording a video, I can't figure out how to switch back and worth between front and back camera. I know how to do it while not recording but I want to switch the camera as it's actually recording, is that possible?

    I don't claim to know the details of each one of the hundreds of thousands (or perhaps millions) of apps out there in the App Store.
    But I can tell you with all due respect if I were writing software for the iPhone / iPad, I would never consider such a product (that switches cameras while recording), because in my humble opinion, there would be very small if any demand for such a product.

  • How do I listen to my guitar while recording through my computer speakers?

  • How can I add effects to voice while recording

    Hey
                  Ok logic pros and users   heres and important question ....     I have my vocalist comming over and he likes a bit of effect on his voice that gives him the sound like it would be recorded  I recorded him last time on a tascam mk-2  with effects like reverb and some guitar effects which really enhanced his voice.  He s using a compression mic  so i do have to watch passing gas while hes recording because it will pick it up lol
                  What can I do on the audo track while setting up his voice to enhance his singing to the point that it will sound extremely good and not bland ..    What I am trying to say he sounds like jeff tate  and I want a tate voice like the album while hes recording i gives him an uplift and higher range
                                                                      Thanks

    well, it should go without saying... there's no magic bullet here. Either someone can sing or they can't. The first step to them sounding good is their own ability.
    Beyond that, a good quality microphone into a decent mic pre-amp is important.
    Ok, so, after stating the obvious... (which I'm amazed at how many people STILL think software will make them a good musician....)
    For monitoring, you could start with any channel strip setting in the vocal category. Most will be over the top, in terms of what you need, but it'll get you started. You'll have to watch latency though. Depending on your audio interface, and how well the drivers were written, will determine if there's noticeable delay in the singers headphones. But a little reverb or delay inserted right on the channel strip will let him hear the FX as he sings.
    If you want to actually print these FX to tape, you will need to record through an input object.

  • How can I turn off my screen while recording video?

    Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

  • Watching YouTube video full screen while working in other monitor

    So after upgrading to Mavericks when I have a Chrome browser window with a youtube vidoe loaded and I click to watch fullscreen my other monitor is taken over with a grayed out background. Quicktime started doing this awhile back, and Vimeo used to do it in Mountain Lion when it was embeded in another site, but if I went to Vimeo.com to watch a video this didn't happen. How do I change this?
    FYI, I have all Mission Control / Spaces options unchecked as I don't use that and don't want multiple Menu bars and whatnot.

    Hi, I just re-read you previous post.
    You said,
    Im using Google Chrome latest version and my mac is a mid 2011 mac book pro running max os x 10.8.5
    I presumed that you were using OS X 10.9.x as we are in the Mavericks (10.9) forum area, not the Mountain Lion (10.8) forum area.
    This changes things a little.
    In Mountain Lion, Apple's implementation for multiple displays is a little different to Mavericks, where both displays share the same 'space' so it is an extended display setup. Mavericks allows each display to have its own space, thereby allowing each dislay to act independantly of each other. This is where I did my brief test.
    Due to Mountain Lion's limitation, I think what you are seing is expected behaviour. Any Full Screen app will result in the other display to be greyed out.

  • How to add audio from a video while recording.

    Hi,
    I want captivate to recognize the audio of the video when recording a video demo. I know that it is possible in captivate 6.1 but not sure how. It sounds lame but I am a beginner.

    Hi there,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    You can do this by selecting the System Audio option on the recording window. Please refer to the below image:

  • How to deal with bass hum/noise while recording

    I recently got a bass guitar (fender p-bass) and its a little noisy. There is an electronic hum/buzz when my fingers are not touching the strings. I had my guitar tech look at it and he said the noise is normal. However, I plan on using this bass to record direct and when I plug into Logic this buzz/hum is audible. If I turn the tone knob on the bass down completely, the noise goes away. But when I start to turn the tone knob up at all the noise get louder.
    My question is if this is a common problem with instruments (bass, guitar, etc) and is it normal to use a plug-in to eradicate this noise (like a noise gate, or something else)? Also, does anyone else have any ideas on how to work with this buzz/hum? Thanks.

    Hi JackQ,
    I had some experience a few years back with one of these basses,same model.Basically,the hum you are hearing is a grounding problem.Your tech does not know how to fix it,that's why he said it's "normal".It's not normal.
    You cannot get rid of that noise unless you do two things.One:get a reputable tech that is an expert on electric instruments,and ask him to solve the ground hum problem.It is not expensive to do so.
    Second,you can do a "home repair" kind of fix,like this:Take a RadioShack alligator clip wire (the ones that look like little alligator mouths,that clamp onto anything)and hook up one end to the bridge of your bass,and hook up the other end to your body,preferably where you have a high pain threshold.This second option,will work,but I only recommend it when you are going to record,otherwise if you leave the alligator clamp on you for a long time,it will leave a permanent mark(just kidding).This also is the cheapest and most efficient way of dealing with the hum problem.Plugins like a gate or other are not going to make it go away,and you'll spend wayyyyyy tooooo much time trying to get it(the plugin) to work.

  • How to get the own schema data while calling the other schema's Procedure

    Hello Experts,
    I'm Sanjit, new to OTN forum.
    I'm using Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0 database. Another user Sush has created one procedure proc_1 like
    create or replace procedure proc_1
    as
    v_total number;
    begin
    select sum(amt) into v_total from trans_master where dot
    between add_months(sysdate,-3) and sysdate;
    dbms_output.put_line('last three months total transactions is: '||v_total);
    end proc_1;
    He has the Trans_master table and having 280 records and I have the same Trans_master table with 430 records
    inserted in last 3 months. He has granted execute privileges on the procedure Proc_1 to me. When I call the procedure
    I cannot call it directly like my own schema procedures: Exec Proc1;
    I am calling like : Exec Sush.Proc1 to get the result. My issue is: when the procedure is called,
    it is accessing the data from the Sush schema Trans_master table with 280 records total, but I want
    the procedure to get the total amount of transaction of 430 records from my own Trans_master table.
    Please resolve my issue which would be a great help. And is there any way to call the procedure of other schema
    by not attaching the owner name of the object with it?
    Thanks
    Sanjit

    Pleast take a look at "Definer's rights and invoker's rights" in the following article:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/timesten.112/e21639/accesscntl.htm#BABDDCHC
    I guess you need to define a stored procedure with "invoker's rights".
    If this is what you are looking for will have to define it in the stored procedure that you are going to call.
    The syntax is as follows:
    create or replace procedure <yourprocedure> authid current_user ...
    ...or (the following is the default, you don't have to use the "authid definer" keywords):
    create or replace procedure <yourprocedure> authid definer ...
    ...hm

    Use the spanner/wrench tool to set options. You can disable it altogether, use it for count ins only, or even change the tone/instrument.
