questions about Snapstream

[dre6383]

is snapstream able to record a tv show from one channel while you're watching tv on another channel, or will it only record the channel u had on last? Can u use a remote with Snapstream?

No SnapStream is not capable to this. SnapStream will change the channel if the TV tuner is not set to that channel. Yes you can use a remote, but you have to use a third party piece of software to translate the remotes code to the computers. You can not, however, use with SnapStream 2.0 because there is not features in SnapStream, but can be put to use with Windows Media Player. In SnapStream 3.0 you can use a remote because there is a full screen option with the program. You can see a preview of the fullscreen option on SnapStream.com.

Unfortunately this is a limitation caused by one and only one tuner card. There are some cards coming out now that actually have more than one tuner integrated -- in which case, sooner or later it should be possible to do this. Right now, snapstream accounts for recording and watching shows by informing you when a recording is about to start -- prompting whether or not you wish to cancel or keep watching tv. You can also watch what is currently recording, in addition to cancelling an in progress recording and changing channels (you will be prompted)
