Yes, it has a built in timer and hard drive that always stays active and one of the tuners will tune to the channel that the program you want to record is on. Hope this helps!

Does DVR need to be turned on to record scheduled program?

No it does not. Technically, it never is 'off'. The two lines that come into the back of the DVR are both solid constant feeds coming in, and the DVR is constantly monitoring start times that are your scheduler. ** Additionally, it is BEST to 'shut off' the DVR when you want to record 2 simultaneous programs on different channels, so that it is not using one of the feeds to display the channel it is tuned to (even tho your tv is shut off) while the other feed is used for recording. When the receiver is 'shut off' it will use both feeds to ensure successful recording of both programs.

How do you download dvr to laptop?

You cannot move a TV show file inside the DVR unit to a computer. But you can record output from the DVR onto laptop's hard drive. Buy a USB 'video capture' device for your laptop so that you can connect DVR's analog output (S-video, composite or component for video and RCA or red and white audio) to the video capture device. While a TV show is played on the DVR, the computer will record it through the video capture device.
