Sorry for the late reply.....u will know the reason in another thread!!
For all these questions, i will be able to answer in terms of "What should be there"......but ultimately, cant say whether it is there or not.......may be i can check up in about an hour or so & will add to this post.
1) can i record a program in other channel when i am watching some other channel? i think that can be done in Tata Sky but on airtel website its not clear.
It should be. Coz then whats the use of the recording feature? Half of its utility is lost......a person records a show coz he wants to see another 1 at THAT VERY MOMENT. Still, i havent used it - check out their thread or directly contact their CC. But 1 suggestion abt CC - do not jump to conclusions about quality of service by talking to 1 person only.......in every CC, u are bound to find 5 out of 10 who are ignorant.
2) can current channel that i am watching be recorded as well when i am already recording some other channel at the same time? sometimes i might want to re-see whole episode.
Again, other players support this.
3) can i record 2 channels at a time when i am NOT watching tv?
Of course......Ur STB doesnt know if the TV is on or off. It does its job - airing the content out & recording it if instructed.
4) can i record ANY channel OR certain channels can not be recorded?
I didnt get this question.....which is the type of channel u r talking about?? Of what i have heard, people even record stuff from "Active Channels", like in TS, people record Star Cricket HD & ESPN HD - atleast 1 of them is active channel.
5) what is the latest model for airtel DVR... i do not want to end up with an OLD model.
U can always check the Package box of that STB for manufacturing date. If u r not satisfied, u have the right to get it changed for the latest make - After all, the company wants to sell its product to u!!
6) is channel switching fast enough? i can wait for 1-2 seconds.. but 3 or more seconds wud make me impatient.
Videocon HD DVR takes about 2 seconds or so - thats all the info i have.......
