Question about watching DVR'd shows in dual mode

[archer75]

I've been trying to find the answer but it's sometimes difficult to interpret discussion on the dual/single modes.

This is what I want to know. In dual mode. Can I record 2 sat programs at once and 1 OTA program while watching different DVR'd shows on both TV1 and TV2?

I don't care about watching live shows. Only shows on the DVR.

I know that if I want to watch a live show on the 2nd tuner that I can't DVR a 2nd show at the same time, unless it's the same show i'm watching.

Yes, and I'm assuming you are talking about an HDDVR. But the SDDVRs do it too, just no OTA.

Also, it doesn't matter which feed the recording was done on.

great.

Basically i'm letting the kids us TV2 but for DVR'd stuff only. But I want to have full use of my tuners for DVRing multiple programs at once. So this is great news.
