Can HR20/21 record 2 and watch 1?

I'm still in the evaluation phase of a switch to DTV and downloaded the manual for the HR20 last night and while looking at it something struck me as odd.

It states you can watch 1 show live and record another. Or Record 2. However, something we do all the time with our Cable's Motorola box (and our DirecTivo before that) is to record 2 and watch something off the HD.

Is this supported on the HR20?

The manual is incorrect.

You can only access 2 LIVE broadcast streams at once.

Yes, you can watch a recorded show while recording 2 other shows.

Unfortunately there are a lot of inaccuracies in the manual, which is why I'm so appreciative of the people here.

Thanks all. I didn't think they would miss that feature, but you never know.
