Hi ,

With the HR10, I could swap between two programs... ie watch 15 minutes of one game, pause it and swap to another game and watch it for a while. This way, I would never miss any plays (esp. great with football games). Is there no swapping between channels (while keeping them in memory to not lose anything)?

Thanks
Alan
 
Short answer, no, you can't.

However, if you set both items to record at the same time, you can to some extent. The hr20 only live buffers one channel at a time though.
 
Thanks...

I also found this "workaround" .... not as good, but better than nothing ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.) Tune to channel A (live buffer of 90 min)

2.) Use quick guide to record desired channel B (unlimited buffer)

3.) Start playback of channel B recording

4.) Press prev. button - will autopause and take you INSTANTLY back to live tv channel A

5.) Press prev. button again and you will go back to recording INSTANTLY (channel B will auto play from where you had left off)

You can toggle the prev. button to repeat the tuner switch endlessly.
