    This question needs to be moved to the appropriate forum. The forum of choice would be the Digital Over The Air (OTA) forum.

    Generally speaking, you set two timers and the DVR records two programs.

    Maybe you should try it. It can be very difficult to debug something like this with an intermediary.

    I like using timers because it usually gives you a warning when you're trying to do something that can't be done for some reason.

    Has there been any attempt to read the documentation?

    Yea, try it yourself. I record two shows at the same time about 3 times a week with no issues. I normaly do what Smitty says, set to record in the guide. Then if I want to change a timer to weekly I just go into the timer menu and edit it. This box has been great since they upgraded the firmware months ago.
