Yes, you can record anytime. Records great! THE BEST BUY we've found in a vcr/dvd!! Be sure to get an extra connector cable to connect from cable box to vcr, in IN position; and another connect from tv to vcr in OUT position... if you connect it this way, it will perform perfectly!! Also, recommend the 4 yr warranty, cheap way to guarantee that BEST BUY will replace it if it breaks down during 4 yr period.
