DVR HD VIP722k Dual-Mode; cancel recording on TV2 from TV1 remote?

I just recently received my 722k and I have come across a task that seems easy enough to do, but I can't figure it out. When I am on Dual-Mode and want to record a program on TUNER 2 and watch a show on TUNER 1, how do I cancel the recording on TUNER2 after it already started? The swap feature obviously doesn't work, so some how I have to cancel recording on TUNER2 from the TV1 remote so I can record a different program on TUNER2 and continue watching live TV on TUNER1.

You can delete the timer event and it will stop the recording (Hit DVR button 3 times and find the event and delete it in the timers section).

Also you could check the installation (Menu 6-1-1) or diagnostics (Menu 6-1-3), but that's a bit overkill for what you are wanting.

You were close with your thinking, but you'd have to change the mode to single mode with the button on the front of the receiver first to do a swap (and then change it back to return to dual-mode).

If I go to the event and try to delete it, it says that it is currently recording, please try again later. It would be great if it said "Do you want to stop recording?"

You are not going to the timer event, you are going to the recording. Try it again by doing what I said - you have to go to the 'Timers' button after you hit DVR 3 times, then find the timer in the list and select it and then go to delete. It asks for confirmation after that.

Glad 'we' could help.

Most questions you could think if have already been asked - so do a search and you'll find a ton of info.

A simpler way, if you have the TV2 remote handy, is to just grab the TV2 remote and press Stop twice.
