If this has been answered before I apoligize.  I could not find
it....So here goes.
Is there a way for me to hook up my new DVR with Cox Digital and record
one program while watching another (Wow what an Idea)....As it is now.
You have to watch what you record.  Please advise.
THANKS!!

1 splitter on the wire from the wall.
1 A/B switch
connect one output of the splitter to DVR antenna input. From the
output of the DVR, connect to one input of the A/B switch. Take a short
cable and connect the remaining output of the splitter to the other
input of the A/B switch. from the A/B switch to the tv. now you can
record what you want and watch anything else. To see what the DVR
recorded simply choose the correct A or B position and play the
program.
