I have a PVR and smart TV.

How do I make connections so that I can simultaneously record on PVR and TV i.e. up to 4 programmes simultaneously.
 
Depends on whether you are recording from Satellite or Terrestrial Freeview ?
 
Two options.

The feed from the aerial connects to the pvr aerial in, the pvr aerial (RF) out to the TV aerial in. You will need to turn off power saving in sby on a modern pvr to pass through the aerial to the TV with the pvr in sby

or

Get a cheap aerial splitter and connect the aerial to the splitter in. One splitter out to the pvr and the other to the TV.

In both cases a hdmi cable from the pvr to the TV is used to view it's output.
 
Which method will preserve the signal output?

Currently, the tv picture is superb via PVR and by direct connection to tv. I would hope to preserve picture quality.

Unless you have a very weak signal they will both be identical. The splitter will save a bit of electricity.
 
Thank you!

I am very grateful for your helpful reply.

I'll use a splitter as the signal strength is very good.
