I can't watch anything else while recording OTA. Not another channel, not recorded material -- is this normal?
 
You need to re-boot. Sounds like its confused. I record OTA, cable channel and watch something I recorderd-all at the same time. If a reboot doesn't fix it, you need to call dish. Maybe the unit is broken.
 
happened last week, i rebooted the other day, and it happened again recording 24 last night. the reboot was because timers were not firing, thats fixed now.
 
If you do a manual record (press record button) then you cannot switch away it seems. Prehaps this is because it expects you to manually stop it. If you do a timed record there should not be a problem.

Thanks, that was the it - if I select stop at end of event rather than manual user stop I don't have the same problems.
 
You can be thankful that it was in the Guide. Non-Guide programs will just run for long times like 4 hours and do not offer stop at end of event.
