Dish Dual Tuner DVR!?

[Tyler]

I just switched over from cable to dish. With digital cable, I could record two shows at a time, but had to either watch one of them, or watch a previously recorded show. Now I have dish dual DVR, or something like that. I have a TV in my living room and bedroom. They SHARE one tuner which is in the living room. I am completely confused on how and where to record things. On a couple of nights there are two shows I want to record at the same time. Can I record these on my bedroom TV and watch whatever I want in my living room? I am confused and need help soon please! What do I do and how do I do it? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Tyler, my name is Kim and I form part of the DISH Social Media Department. I will be more than happy to help you by providing you the information you need. When Record Plus is enabled, you can decide which receiver output (TV1 or TV2) will record your events. This feature is available when the receiver is on Dual Mode only. TV1 is the television where the receiver is physically located. It is connected to the TV1 outputs from the receiver.
TV2 is the secondary television that is connected to the TV2 connections on the receiver. With the receiver being a dual tuner you can only view live TV on the one Tuner that does not have a recording in process. If you are recording something on both Tv's you are not able to view Live Tv however, you have access to your DVR and can view anything that has been previously recorded.
I hope this answers your question. If you need further assistance feel free to contact me directly at kimberly.escobar@dish.com.
