Question 1

Can this do analog cable tv?

Accepted Answer

The ViewTV AT-300 --WILL-- handle non-scrambled, non-encrypted analog cable channels. That is, those basic cable channels that are on most cable systems that do not require a box from the cable company in order for your TV to receive these basic analog cable channels. The "box" that the cable company provides, are for those scrambled/encrypted cable channels that do require the cable box with a CableCard in order to receive these. The scrambled/encrypted cable channels are those of the upper tier packages that most cable providers offer, in addition to the hand full of basic (analog) cable channels. When using the AT-300 for basic, unscrambled, unencrypted analog channels, you must setup the unit for "CABLE" in the setup menu, rather then for "AIR" which is for OTA (over-the-air) broadcasts. However, this unit will not do BOTH OTA and CABLE at the same time though, (its either one or the other) but you can purchase a second unit for both your basic cable and your OTA, if you have multiple inputs on your TV (i.e. coax input and 1 or more HDMI inputs, or multiple HDMI inputs, etc.)

Question 2

Does this box work with Comcast .?

Accepted Answer

It "might" work on Comcast cable for Comcast's basic cable package, which is their first few analog channels. These are normally unscrambled/non-encrypted channels. You can test to see if you have that available on your Comcast cable, by plugging the coax cable directly into a TV (with a tuner) and see if you are getting any of the starting basic cable channels. Or call your cable provider and ask them if their very basic cable package offers unencrypted channels. When using this box on a cable system, you must change it to  in the setup menu. This box will only pick up any non-encrypted, non-scrambled analog cable channels.

Question 3

Can i watch other recorded shows or videos on my hard drive while it is recording?

Accepted Answer

No. It can only do one function at a time

Question 4

Does this tuner have Antenna and Cable selection in the auto tuning section like the 263 did ?

Accepted Answer

This only has a ATSC (digital Broadcast) tuner so it will not tune cable channels.
