Quick Question on HR21

991 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  russdog
So I have my HR21 and both tuners are recording something.

I want to switch between tuners so I hit the "Prev" button, but I get a pop up asking if I want to cancel a recording (because the channel on that was previously on that tuner is not the one being recorded on the other)

I end up having to cancel and I hit "List" and pick the other show from there that's recording.

On my tivo, I just hit down button to switch between tuners. Is there an easy way to do it on the HR21?

BTW - I've searched my butt off and haven't found this answer

(BTW - this is different then the DLB workaround)

use list to see what's recording, then you can either pick a show from there or exit list and manually tune each channel that's recording. After doing the manual tuning, you can use the prev button.

There is no TIVO-like way to switch between the 2 tuners. The way to do it is to use the "previous" button. For this to work, you need to make sure that the the previous channel is indeed the channel that the other tuner is recording. Once you have ensured that the current channel is one that's recording, and the previous channel is the other one that's recording, then the previous button does what you want. But until you have it that way it won't, i.e., if the previous channel is not one of the two that you are recording, the HR will ask you if you really want to go to that other channel at the cost of canceling one of the recordings.
