I am wondering if anybody on here has dish tv and could answer a question for me. Is it possible to be watching one channel while recording another? I have been trying to do this and can't figure it out. I know that I can watch something that I have recorded while I am recording something else. If you know how to do this could you please tell me how to do it???

Hello!
I have Dish Network & the only way to watch something & record at the same time is if you either:
A. Have 2 tv's hooked up to your dvr--this way one can be recording & you could be watching the other.
B. You can watch your already recorded dvr's & record at the same time.

I have DISH and am able to watch one show and record another via their built in hard drive digital recorder. I just program it to record a given program and then can watch a different show. The TIVO service would allow you to do the same thing.

You have to have a second TV hooked up. It is a bot of a pain.
