Can someone explain what the BLB Work Around is,and how it works.

You probably want to take a look at this:

The DLB workaround is on page 6:

Setup:
1. Tune to Show 1. Press RECORD. This is your primary live buffer or "anchor" program.
2. Tune to Show 2. Press PAUSE. This sets your secondary live buffer.
3. Press LIST then PLAY.

Flip Between the Dual Live Buffers:
Press PAUSE then PREV

Option: Delete the Primary Recording:
Press LIST then "RED" then SELECT .

Can someone outline how to perform the two methods above ?

Workaround #1 - toggle between Live TV Buffer and recorded program

Dual Live Buffer Workaround #1

Setup

• Tune to Show 1 and press {®}
• Tune to Show 2 and press {PAUSE}
• Press {LIST} and play Show 1

Switch between tuners

• Press {PAUSE} then {PREV}

When finished, you can keep or delete the Show 1 as necessary

NOTE: Works correctly in 0x1EA and above ..

Workaround #2 - toggle between recording Buffer tuner 2 (not buffered)

Dual Live Buffer Workaround #2

Setup

• Tune to Show 1 and press {®}
• Tune to Show 2 and watch Live TV

Switch between tuners

• Press {PREV}

When finished, you can keep or delete the Show 1 as necessary
Show 2 buffer will be gone once you toggle to Show 1
You can channel surf on Tuner 2 while Show 1 continues to be buffered/recorded
Show 1 continues to move forward in time if you do not press {PAUSE}

NOTE: Works correctly in 0x254 and above ..

Keep in mind with Workaround #2 .. You can channel surf until your heart is content on Tuner 2. Each time you change to a new channel on Tuner 2, the buffer will be flushed. If you key in the channel number for Show 1 (the buffered/recorded program), then you will have full access to that program .. kinda like DLB, but only on the one tuner.

And now, I'd ask that we please continue DLB discussion in the main discussion thread for this topic. Thank You.
