I had my HR21-700 set to record Boston Legal on ABC @10pm today on 04/08/08. I also had Gene Simmons Family Jewels set to record on A&E @10:30pm today. The TV was off while they were recording. I saw the orange light on to indicate that the dvr was recording. The last channel that the dvr was left on before it was shut off earlier in the afternoon was Ch. 80 which is CBSE which is actually a basically black screen. I leave it on that channel when I go to nap in the afternoon; don't ask why.
Anyways, when I turned everything on at 11:40pm tonight the tv showed Ch.80 and yet in the Playlist and under History it shows as both shows have recorded; no partials listed. Somebody give me a logical explanation how this occurred? How could have both shows recorded in full and yet the dvr was left on Ch. 80 and not on one of the channels that it had last recorded. As far as I know, both tuners had to be used since Boston Legal records for an hour and at 10:30pm both tuners were needed to be in use. One tuner cannot record 2 shows at once and I do not have a SWM connection nor do I use an antenna. The only logical conclusion I can think of is that maybe Boston Legal had a partial recording and it shut off by 10:30pm and it's a false reading on the dvr. Even if the dvr reset itself after 11pm then it would leave it on one of the last recorded channels. I will stay bewildered as I cannot comprehend how 2 shows can record at the same time and not use both tuners in order to do so.
