got a 211 with external hard drive.should i be able to watch a channel and record on another.it only lets me watch what's recording.do i need a splitter on the back or is that the way it's made
 
The 211 is a single tuner receiver so you cannot watch a different satellite channel from the one you are recording.
You can record an OTA channel and watch a satellite channel or record a satellite channel and watch OTA.
 
Sounds like if you want more independent viewing from what's recording, you should move to at least a 612, dual tuner.
