Disagreement with son-in-law.
In a typical setup (Dish or Direct TV TIVO) does the DVR have two tuners - or - is there a single tuner in the DVR and the other tuner being used is in the TV set. SIL claims there are two tuners in the DVR. If that is the case then there are three tuners all together and we should be able to record 3 shows simultaneously, or, record 2 while watching a live show.
Does anybody know? Please educate me.
Thanks for all replies,
Ivan Vegvary

I have the Dish 622 DVR. It actually has three tuners. Two tuners
for the satellite feed and one for the over the air signals. It will
record up to three programs (2 sat and 1 OTA) simultaneously while
doing playback from a previously recorded program.
Right now I am recording 1 Sat signal, 1 OTA signal and watching a
previously recorded program. It regularly records three programs
simultaneously.

** The point remains that a DVR will not do that unless it is engineered to
do it.
Plus raw data from the digital tuner inside a TV set is not usually
accessible.

Two tuners, at least with Dish and every cable DVR I've had (four systems).
When recording two shows, you can only watch one of the recorded shows.
