The problem is it takes 4 batteries that are on the bottom so all the weight is there. I can't use it because it causes shooting pain up my wrist.

That is not what happened before. I was recording one thing on channel 9 on TV1 and on both tv's I was able to watch 2 different programs on each TV. I'm past the point of understanding. Nothing makes sense. I'm a visual learner. I have to look at things to understand which is why the...

I'm in Solo mode now and it is doing something that people here said it wouldn't. I have a list of questions for the tech tomorrow to try to figure this out. Once I see what is what I can pick your brain about an antennae. Right now my brain is much thinking about this. But I'd still like to...

I don't think he was a newbie. Just wanted to get home. I'm going to get organized and give my brain a break since i'm on overload. But now I understand more so I'll actually know what to ask. A lot of this could have been resolved with a quick 10 minute lesson the other day.

He just wanted to get home to his 4 kids. I'd ask him a question and he'd grab the remote and do it and not show me. He went over the basics of how to record and that was it. And he showed me PIP because I asked. And because I had no idea how this worked (my frame of reference is Tivo), I...

Yes I am completely confused and though I appreciate you trying to help, this confused me even more LOL. Probably because it isn't dumbed down enough. I'm working with Zach who is sending a technician out. A 10 minute lesson on the remote buttons clearly isn't enough to understand how it all...

Done, Thanks

Deadlocked and Zach, that would be great if someone could come and get this set. I'm just not confident, given my previous experiences, that I'll get any help if I call customer service. I'm going to experiment later and report back. I do remember the first night, and I think it was in...

I need a break. My brain can't absorb anymore. I'll experiment tomorrow with a few things and let you know what happens. FyI I was given no information about what I was getting, how it works, no explanation except how to use the remote to record. The tech couldn't get out of here fast...

I'm still confused I think. So when it says it's recording on 2 in solo mode, that means tuner 2 and not TV2? Maybe I'm not understanding terminology. I did just look and it is not recording 2 shows at the same time. I've tried to set it up and it will not do it. This defeats the purpose...

And I just tried to schedule another timer at 9 PM. There is one show set to record at 9 on tv 1 so it should have set it up for tv2 and it said there was a conflict. So WTH?

Zach I believe you are wrong. This is what just happened. I put my TV in single mode and had previously set the Record Plus to TV1. I canceled a program that was set to record on TV2. I reentered the timer and it put it back on TV 2. I cancelled it. Checked and it had Record plus set...

ohioankev So if I'm in single mode, I can watch one channel while another is recording? I get that if I'm recording 2 things at the same time I have to watch one. So I want to be in single mode and turn off power setting. Then on TV 1 I can watch one channel and record on another and...

Zach, most likely only one tv is on at a time. Right now I have turned the Power thing off. I think it is in Dual mode. If I want to record something on TV1 but watch another channel on TV1, can I do that? I get that TV2 is a "dumb" tv. I'm getting confused with other people chiming in.

Right now, it was not working the way I wanted it to, it was unwieldy and difficult and I was constantly canceling and restarting timers. I wanted to set up my Tivo because I was sick of dealing with that AND because I can't manage the remote. I'll try what Zach said for now and not hook up...
