"While recording a programne can you watch another channel at the same time ?
Recording on what? Sky/BT/Virgin box, TiVo, HDD player - or the tv itself?
A
Recording on usb stick at back of TV"
No reason why not then - best bet is Google. You'll probably find a demo video on YouTube.

Not sure if it's the same as your tv but it says if it's recording to an external drive, then no, you can't watch another channel while recording  |

"Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front of their smart television set.
The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its voice activation feature.
When the feature is active, such TV sets "listen" to what is said and may share what they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said."

If it's just the TV then you can't
You'd have to have two inputs from your aerial in order to receive 2 separate broadcasts. Much the same as the Sky+ box. It has two cables from the dish in it allowing 1 watching channel while recording and recording a different channel.
I'll bow to superior knowledge if I'm wrong

"Try changing the channel whist recording and see what happen's ?
It says you have to cancel the recording before you can switch channels ?"
so no is the answer .... get a tivo box from virgin , you can record 3 channels at the same time .... Better than sky !  |

Only 1 connection from your aerial required as digital TV is a multiplex signal so every channel is given a small section of the overall bandwidth. What you need to record multiple channels is multiple tuners or receivers inside the unit which decode the signal and 'strip out' the channel you want to watch/record- so 2 tuners to watch 1 and record 1, 3 to watch 1 and record 2 etc....
Satellite dishes also only need 1 feed as they work exactly the same way, some have multi output LNB's if they are being sent to more than 1 box (eg lounge and bedroom) |
