ASK DBSTALK: DVR without tuners connected?

[jchaak]

Can dvr recordings be watched without the tuners connected like with the 50x series receivers?

Sorry if asked and answered previously? Did an unsuccessful search.

I believe that I had read previously that you can do this. If there are any new shows on this week I will be finding out at the end of the week when I have to unhook the SAT in on my 501 to hook to the 921 that is on the way... Gerry

Yes you can.

Yes you can.

I tried this over the weekend at a show we did and could not make it work there appeared to be a mask over the screen like the infor screen was up when we pressed the format button we could see for about 5 seconds a dim picture in the middle but it would then be masked.

Try it let me know if you have the same issue

I haven't seen that, but I haven't tried it since L145 downloaded. My experience was with the sat cables not connected, powering on the 921 resulted in the Acquiring Data message. At that point I hit the DVR button, and selected a recording to watch. The recording looked fine.

Make sure you disconnect the satellite cable from the dish if you are getting progamming shut off or you will lose your PVR/DVR Events. This goes for all the PVR/DVR receivers.
