Of course. That's how I watch TV almost exclusively. Accurian connected
via s-video to Philips DVD recorder, timer set in the Accurian and in
the Philips.
I can switch to two antennas. One for most channels in Wash, Balt, and
Annapolis. Another for a few of the Wash channels. I switch to whatever
antenna the recording session will need, and that's almost always the
same one.
And don't forget that "antenna fiddling" is something that goes away
when the receiver can tolerate echo. That's why the new ATSC receivers
require so much less of it. Antenna fiddling is done to attenuate echo,
just like one had to do in the analog TV days.
