Not unless you want it to.
The TV signal is passed simultaneously to the tuner in the DVR and to the TV.
If you are watching the channel you are recording, the recording will be happening at the same time.
You do not need a TV attached to the DVR, it just becomes harder to see what you are doing. A lot of DVRs have two tuners, so that two different channels can be recorded at the same time. That then allows you to free up the TV tuner to watch a third channel live (not recorded).
You can also record two channels and also play back a recorded program, all at the same time.
The DVR has it's own antenna input for it's own tuners.
It also has an antenna output, which passes the aerial signal to the TV, so it too can share the same antenna.
Recorders used to output an RF signal on the output socket (CH35, or tuneable)
These days there is no RF signal out from the recorder, this is handled by HDMI or AV cables to the TV.

What amount of time is a recorded program on a DVR available before it is viewed?
Usually as long as you have it stored on your DVR, and just like a VCR, you can watch it over and over again. I have some recordings that have been stored on my DVR for over two years, and they still play. Just be sure to `protect` your recording so that the DVR doesn't record over it if the drive is close to being full.
