You would need a TV with two tuners in order to be able to watch one channel and record the other. Theoretically, you should be able to record one channel and watch the other with one tuner if both channels belong to the same transport stream, i.e. they are at the same radio channel. However, even that is not possible, but I do not know the reason. Probably it has something to do with the signal processing.

      My LG 43UM7600PLB TV does not sees the directories on the external USB drive
      By Andy_Roider
      As per the subject line, I have had a USB drive connected to my television for over four years, but for the past few days it has not been recognising the directories where my films and music are organised, and is displaying EVERYTHING in a single list of over a thousand files.
      It is a 1TB drive (half of the maximum 2TB allowed) with a power supply, formatted as NTFS, and not completely full.
      I have checked the drive and it has no bad sectors. I have tried connecting it to both USB ports and all the files are in the permitted format (avi, mkv, mp4, mp3, etc.).
      I have also tried another 1TB drive, but the result is the same.
      Do I need to reconfigure something in the television settings?
      It would be a significant loss if I cannot resolve this issue.
      Thank you in advance for your responses.

      Enabling usb recording and live tv
      By Hblone
      Hallo, I bought a 55un74006LB smart tv in Italy. It seems not to have usb recording capabilities, according to the information on the italian website, but the UK site declare it has. I think it's the same product with the same functions, so how can I turn the live tv and usb recording on? I think I found the options in the service menu but I cannot change the values. Any suggestion?

      LG TV pause live TV and record programmes using SSD drive for under £20
      By JamieG
      Hi all, last week I got my new LG 65" C4 Oled delivered.
      I investigated using first a 32Gb memory stick for recording live programmes and pause live TV facility.
      I was able to record programmes but the Live TV would not work 🥲
      The LG usb is the slower 2.0 spec but I read that most low current SSD drives should still work fine with 2.0
      Today I received a 240Gb drive with Sata to usb 3.0 cable (3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0).
      I can confirm that everyting works fine and for just £17.40 I now have pause live TV and loads of space for recording programmes.
      I used AliExpress and they if you buy using the "choice" option you get free 7day delivery to UK with detailed tracking 👍

      LG 50UT91006LA TV Recording
      By Hoghton Jim
      This is one of LG's Smart Web OS TV's and I understand you can record to a USB stick/hard drive.
      I wondered if anyone knows how many channels you can record at one time?
      Also does anyone know if there is any info available on using the PVR feature. i.e. can you record from the program menu etc.
      Many thanks.
