Why does it matter?
Any way to tell what tuner is in use?
Is there any way to tell which tuner is in use, i.e. if I am watching ESPN, is there some magical way to tell what tuner it's using?

if you disconnect the cable from tuner one and the picture goes away, then you just found out!:lol: this only applies to non-SWM system......
but again, why you need to find out???

Yes. If your DVR is connected to your home network you can use SHEF to process a serial command.
Enter into your web browser:
[ip of your dvr]:8080/serial/processCommand?cmd=FA8B01
to see what is on tuner 1
[ip of your dvr]:8080/serial/processCommand?cmd=FA8B02
to see what is on tuner 2
Results are in hex, just convert the first two bytes to decimal.

Could you please answer the question as to why you needed or wanted to know?
While watching various programs (meaning different channels) I get pixulation once in awhile. No specific channel or program, just random channels. I thought perhaps it might be a specific tuner, so thought that, if there was a way to check the tuner that I am using, and the pix starts, I could check the tuner in use and perhaps that might be the problem.
