Recording OTA on the 722k

[Yespage]

I got the OTA module for the 722k. We were watching PBS OTA (we were recording the PBS program) and then the timer made the receiver pop over to ABC OTA. I didn't know why it did that. So I just went to the DVR menu, then picked to play the PBS program, FF'd to the point where we were and then watched it to the end on a tiny delay.

Which made me wonder, before, there are two tuners. You record off tuner 1 or 2. When you add the OTA tuners, I presumed that the DVR would only change the channel on the Dish tuner if you were going to record off of the Dish signal and the number 1 or 2 was noted as the recording timer.

So I think we recorded CBS for an hour, then PBS had a five minute overlap with that. Then PBS went to 11 PM and we had a program record on ABC from 10 to 11. All were recorded OTA.

So why did the channel change between PBS and ABC?

You were probably watching the PBS on the ota tuner that wasn't recording the program.

don't forget. there are 4 tuners but only 2 tvs. so if you are watching tuner 3 on tv1 and a timer is set to fire on tv1, it will change the viewing on tv1 to the tuner that is set to record which could be any 1 of the 4.
