Need more details ...
What is the actual model number ? HRxx ?
Push the DASH button and tell us what it says.
This will help diagnosing.
Sat dish and type will be in the info you give us.
You have to tell the two-tuner DVR to use only one Tuner. IIRC, this is done in the guided setup after you choose the dish type.
If you're doing this to spite the second tuner, you'll probably regret it at some point in the future. The DVR will work better with both tuners active.

Yea I had a feeling it was needing to chnage it to single, from dual. So all is good now. Now to find out why the screensaver keeps coming on.
Better as in it will be less likely to interrupt your viewing when a timer is about to fire.
Better as in getting guide data more consistently while the DVR is "on" (especially since it is apparent that the TS favors leaving it on long enough for the screen saver to pop up).
I'm pretty sure you knew these and other reasons.
So, you can't read either ....
It's the 3rd sentence !!!
"We had to get a new DVR. Its the DVR plus, got through set up. But we only have one cable in and we are getting the searching for satellite on the 2nd in port. We don't use. So how do I get that off the screen? "
Well, that explains the error message he's getting on the screen for tuner 2.
Just curious, what happens if he moves the Sat feed from Sat 1 in, to Sat 2 in ?

I never tried it, but I assume it wouldn't work, otherwise they wouldn't designate Sat 1 as the swm input.
Ok, that answers that then ... run a second line if you want to get rid of the pop up.
