I keep recording it correcting but it only records like 1or 3 minutes and then stops. Im trying to record Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. Im running dual mode because i have a second tv using the same DVR in a different room.
I dont know whether to record on TV1 or TV2…It doesn’t seem to make a differecne though….
Please help…Someone walk me through it…
It should just record for you.
I leave my TV off all the time and it records flawlessly.
Is your DVR full?
Try to erase some things.
Maybe you have it set to only record a few minutes.
Are you the only one in your house? Maybe another family member is sabotaging you!!
You never know. Check all your settings.
If not, it’s probably a problem any of us normies can’t answer.
You should call dish and have them come assist you.
They’ll do the best job.
The DishNetwork DVR has it’s own built-in tuner(s), so it doesn’t matter what your TV is doing. You could be watching a DVD, and still your DVR will record what you tell it to. The TV itself, is only needed for viewing what your DVR has recorded, not what it’s presently recording!
