So far the forum has been two for two on helping with my newbie questions concerning by new HR20.
Here is question 3:
Am I missing something, if is it much more inconvenient switching between tuners on this thing than with Tivo? I've spent some time looking through the Q&A's and don't really find much mention of this.
With Tivo, all you needed to do was go to the guide and pick your second show, and than continually press the LiveTV button on the upper right of the remote and you could go back and forth between tuners.
It seems however, based on what I've read in the Tips and Trips documents posted here, that the only way you can switch between tuners and not lose your buffer on the first show with the HR20 is to hit record, hit pause, and than go to the Guide and go to your next show! I would assume the result of this is that you end up recording a ton of programs you really didn't want to record, and than have to go into the playlist and delete all these programs you really didn't want to record in the first place!
Now I know i can get used to this, and if I had never had Tivo I would probably think all was fine and dandy, but please, somebody tell me its got to be easier to switch between programs than this. My wife will divorce me if there isn;t a better way!!!
