I have a dual tuner HD dvr from dish. Sometimes (not all the time), when i am recording a single show, it won't let me watch live TV without stopping my recording. How do i fix this?

If you hit your DVR button 3 times you will see your recording schedule, complete with which tuner will be used for each program. That will give you an idea of when you can watch LIVE TV at any given time for either TV1 or TV2. It really just depends on what is scheduled to record and where.

Also (in case you didn't know) you can watch something recorded on the dvr ANYTIME on either tv1 or tv2 - even if something is recording on both.

is there a way to switch the recording from tv1 to tv2 (or vice versa) either before or during the recording?

If you are in single mode it doesn't matter. You may have to do a pip swap to switch to the other tuner.

I don't use dual mode but believe you must set the receiver to use your assigned tuner or to use the other tuner. I don't think you can switch it around on the fly.

I havent used it in a while, but I think if you enable "Record Plus" (located in the Preference menu = Menu+8+5 you can assign the default recorder. The receiver needs to be in the dual mode for this to work. If you are in the single mode, this feature is unnecessary and grayed out.

You cannot change the tuner in the middle of the recording. You have to plan ahead. You can also manually start a new recording and stop the old one and just remember to watch the two halves. I have done this before with OTA/TV2 for OTA recordings so I have a particular program in HD.

Remember that there are three tuners on the 622/722.
TV1 - Main TV
TV2 - Second TV
OTA - Main TV Live, second TV only if recorded first.

So on TV1 with out record plus you can do the following:

Watch TV1 Satellite Tuner live while recording OTA
Watch OTA live while recording satellite TV1 Tuner
Watch recording while recording from OTA and Recording on TV1 Tuner.

In other words, you can never watch one satellite channel while recoding another ever.

With the record plus, you can tell the recoding to default to TV2 (which will limit what the remote TV can see while you are recording on TV2) and be able to record one satellite channel while watching another satellite channel. You can even record two programs while watching a third live keeping in mind the limitation of 2 satellite tuners and 1 OTA tuner. Or record 3 programs while watching a recording like I am right now!

See ya

Here is a trick I learned on this board a few months back.

If you are watching TV1 in dual mode, and something is recording on TV1 but not TV2, then you can switch to SINGLE mode (via button on front panel.) Then once in single mode tune to whatever channel you want. Once you are watching it, switch back to DUAL and it will put the recording channel over to TV2. I have done this only ONE time a few months back but it worked for me.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

But how is it reusable if it's disposable

He does not have the resources aka $$$ compared to Elon Musk as in reality, Elon can eat Charlie for lunch or even mop the floor with Charlie if he wanted to.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
