So it's like Skyplus and Tivo? How can a DVD do that?
How on earth can you possibly be watching the disk while recording onto it at the same time?
Or is that not what it means?
Confused...
The same way that you can have one program saving a file while another program is loading a file. The disk can transfer bytes faster than the TV can display them. (It's really running on a hard drive, not a DVD.)
