How do I switch from sat1 to sat2 on HR20?

[ridric]

I just updated from a 3yr old TIVO DirecTV system. My TIVO would allow to switch between both satellite signals, also allowing me to pause one show, go to another show on the other satellite, and switch back to my first show-still in the pause mode. Is this possible with the HR20?

See the PDF in this thread. It is detailed and well done on how to use both tuners.

You should use the search facility or even Google, this is probably the most often asked and answered question about the HR20. Try http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=79356 as a start...

I thought this might be a common problem. Thanks for the tip.

Undocumented! - WATCH TWO SHOWS AT ONCE - The trick is to temporarily record both…
While in the first show, Click the ® RECORD button
Press ll PAUSE before you leave a show so it will not play without you.
Press GUIDE twice to go to the second program
Click the ® RECORD button to begin recording the second show
Press LIST and then press SELECT to select the other show
Press ll PAUSE before you leave a show so it will not play without you.
Press LIST and then press SELECT to select the other show
Now that your shows are set up, Press ll PAUSE and then PREV to go back and forth between the programs :up
