The HR 22

[ftaisawesome]

I thought I'd read that the HR 22 could record two shows while watching another? I've tried it and, clearly you can't. Are there any DTV receivers that have this capability?

You can record two shows while watching a recorded one.

Ahh thanks. That might be what I read.

I have an HR20 with an OTA tuner hooked up. I don't understand why I can't record 2 channels and watch another off the tuner. I assume it's the same with the HR21. If it's a seperate tuner, why does it restrict it? Now I'm thinking of just hooking it straight up to the TV.

Just the way the thing is set up... yes, all the current models work that way.
Prior to the HR24 that has yet to be available or any concrete info on.
Rumored to have more recording options available.

This is because the DVR treats an OTA tuner and a sat tuner as a single tuner.
