Go to your Play List. Highlight the program you're recording that want to watch. Select it. To switch, highlight the other program and select. After that, the Previous button will switch between the two.
Tune to the channels directly or through the guide, first one, then the other, then use PREV to swap. Kind of a poor mans DLB, or kind of a poor DLB depending on how you look at it. :D
I like cadet502's advice. :grin:
Both work but are both bad excuses for DLB. I want my DLB. C'mon D*.. please implement this feature that many of us have been asking for for some time..
Cadet,

Thanks you so much for that info! With the NFL Sunday Ticket season just around the corner, I was very dissapointed that I was not going to have DLB. This sounds like it will basically accomplish the same thing!!!

Sorry, but DirecTV uses that second tuner for other things when a scheduled recording isn't using it, and as promised, it's better than DLB.... it's pushed PPV movies that magically show up in your "Movies Now" folder. Enjoy.

That explains why flipping channels no longer alternates tuners...I'd trade Movies Now for DLB any day and twice TODAY.

I don't get it. I thought anytime you changed channels while just watching regular "live" tv, it alternates between tuners. If so, how could it do that while simulteneously downlaoding pre pushed content?

Per my post above, I noticed in the last software release (or two) it does not alternate tuners changing channels...
OK .. now that the original question is answered, and we are getting back to talking about DLB in general, perhaps we take it over to the monster DLB thread ..
