No, I mean I was able to record big four (well, 3 of them) with ONE tuner having one sat tuner viewing a non LIL and the other sat tuner available.
That is true. Any linked Joeys could have utilized the free tuner if needed, however couldn't record. That has now been fixed as of S244/S308.
I just tried this, after reading about the feature on the newest s/w, and it did NOT work. I'm still on S238. I tried ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. The first three worked then I got a conflict with the fourth. It was using standard tuners, one for each channel vs the PTAT tuner.

I received S244 on my hopper today. Looks like I've moved up to the second spooling wave. Before S238, I was always among the last group to get updates...
Got a test in progress on one Hopper with Sling for the Anytime programs. Set one each timer for the four network channels, one OTA channel (non network), and two satellite channels for a total of seven channels to fire off at 07:00am CST. All seven channels are recording as I type. Really awesome. Learning something new all the time. Thanks to all.
Agree completely... This is something that really needs to be fixed. I'm just worried that they may not ever change it due to the AutoHop markers, well at least probably not for a long while. They should make to where the nightly updates can at least background download on an available tuner to where you can still watch live tv... Not sure if that's even doable but sounds good in theory right??
Had something odd last night on the old Hopper, not sure on SW version. Went to play Bones from about 4 weeks ago, and it was just a black screen. Tried Continuum right next to it, black screen. Then I realized the next two tiles were Bones and Continuum again, and they played fine. We had bad weather that night, would that have made it do duplicate tiles?
I am not sure if this was an issue for first Hopper but Hopper with Sling HDMI CEC still does not work for my Samsung TV.
I believe they do this now. I once saw a tuner in Viewing Status doing a guide update while the other two were receiving programs.
I've seen this happen quite a few times (playback is blank) and no idea what could have caused it. On some events, in the upper part of the DVR screen where it shows the title and description, it would tell me "error 004" with a brief description of what that means. All you could do is delete and try to re-record it...
My experience is different. I experienced long pauses in updating the screen when calling up the guide, DVR, etc. the first time. Returning to these screens was as fast as with previous software but I've never considered updates "lightening fast". I will admit updating the icons is a bit faster.
I now have many more icons on my EHD but not a complete set. Some still show generic icons. Also, there are quite a few recordings that just show channel icons.
Wonder if there are any fixes with DVR Explorer app. I have a hard time getting mine to work because it crashes and then won't connect again without resetting the network adapter.
Prior to this update I could not connect either hopper to the explorer app even thought they worked fine with the sling adapters
Now they both work with explorer
