How many tuners on a 211k?
I know there is only 1 output, but how many tuners can I record at once?

1 OTA and 2 Sat? or 1 OTA and 1 Sat?

Thanks!
 
1 OTA and 1 Sat

That's right. The only thing I wish that DN would add... The ability to record with more than one timer... on the same channel... with the same tuner, at the same time.

Why? Because if I want to record 2 back-to-back shows on the same channel, I lose my "start early" & "end late" safety margin between the shows. For OTA channels, I get around this by setting one timer for ATSC, and the next on the same channel provided by the satellite.

The ATSC & DVB tuners in my HTPC handle this flawlessly. In fact, my HTPC will allow for multi channel recording on one tuner... as long as they're on the same TP. I wouldn't dare ask DN for that. But I would like it to allow for overlap on the same channel.

Cheers
