Try to think of your setup as two different signal paths. Signal path A is the VCR and signal path B is the TV. To record a channel you will press the âAâ button on the A/B switch and tune the A-side DTV converter box to the channel you want to record. Then set your VCR to record on channel 3 and select a record time.After setting your VCR to record press the âBâ button on the A/B switch to watch TV. You can freely turn channels on the B-side DTV converter box while recording on side A.

Part of the Programming glossary: A timestamp is the current time of an event that is recorded by a computer. Through mechanisms such as the Network Time Protocol ( NTP ), a computer maintains accurate current time, calibrated to minute fractions of a second.
What is the unix time stamp? The unix time stamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at UTC. Therefore, the unix time stamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch. It should also be pointed out (thanks to the comments from visitors to this site) that this point in time technically does not change no matter where you are located on the globe.
