Don't worry about the tuner that shows the 4 network channels. If you need that tuner, on either Hopper, just selecting another channel and it will override it. You say 'recording,' was it really recording or was it just tuned. If it was recording, you will see those recordings in your in the PTAT or personal folders in the DVR area. Another thing, if you were actually watching or recording any of the 4 networks, you will always see all four of them. It's the nature of the beast.
