Goliath I need to expand someone else's question?

Question

Does the Sony RDR-HXD890 or RDR-HXD870 support dual tuners i.e. recording whilst watching another channel? ?

Unfortunately Sony does not say :-

This is what i was beginning to expect and i'm glad to have it clarified, thank you very much!!

your answer:It will not let you record one channel whilst watching another. It does have two tuners, but one is analogue and one is digital, and it will only let you use one at a time. However, if you have another tuner source (eg in your TV, or a separate freeview box), then you will be able to record one channel using the Sony tuner, and watch a different channel using the TV or freeview tuner. The Sony will allow you to watch a previously recorded show on the hard disk, whilst recording a separate show, and will also allow you to watch a DVD whilst recording another show.

My question: would like to expand on the original question that is....When I did a search on the model numbers mentioned, I ended up at Sony United Kingdom. Are these Sony recorders available in the United States?

Answer 1

Sorry to say the Sony RDR-HXD890 & RDR-HXD870 are not available in the United States. They are available in other countries but for some reason not in the U.S.A.
