Sony OLED XR-A90J 55" - Recording & Streaming

Hi,

Do anyone know whether XR OLED A90J 55" can record* cable tv (through tuner) and at the same time run an app via streaming - (so displaying the app** content while recording through the tuner) ?

[* recording via USB Harddisk

**app could be fx. a cable broadcast tv app which allow to see all tv channels through streaming]

Any Sony Android TV can do it. You can run anything while recording

You can watch a 2nd channel while recording if you use 2 tuners at the same time, but you can't record while streaming from an app as far as I know. And this is only for Digital and Satellite, cable only has 1 tuner so this is not even possible at all.

Thanks J.D. for your comment !

I'm still interested in comments from people that have tried testing it themselves. 
(..USB recording through tuner and display  (app) streaming simultaneously) - cause a Sales person told me it was indeed possible (without having time to test it in shop);

The OP’s requirement may or may not be possible for other reasons - hardware or software limitations for instance - but as only one tuner is involved in recording from a tuner while streaming from an app, why do you say it would not be possible because cable has only one tuner?

 

@Nicky1244 

 

Is this for cable specifically, or any tuner?

 

And if you rely on anything a sales assistant says when buying a TV, then tell him/her you are relying on it, get it shown you in print, get it demoed, or get it in writing!

"..Is this for cable specifically, or any tuner?" - Just any tuner !

(I do get your point about Sales people in terms of getting it in writing - i just don't want all the hazzle - buy - unpack - return etc..   if somebody in the Sony community had up-front experience)

Thank you for highlighting that! I double-checked my info and turns out I confused the app recording with recording WHILE streaming from an app. Much appreciated as always! ^^

Has this thread answered your question, or do you still face an issue/confusion with this?

@J.D
No - This thread has not been answered (I might have misinterpreted the replies uptill now - pardon me if thats the case) - I don't see any answering my question - in that no-one knows it (or tried it themselves) - I do agree that technically - using the tuner (recording) and at the same time streaming should be possible - but I don't know whether the TV allows it.

“The media files in the USB storage device or your home network cannot be played during recording”.

@royabrown2 as far as I understood this manual is referring to older linux model (HX72x). My old W807A also could not run any app while recording, while the A1, XD83, W805C could
