I don't follow. How can the two PVR3500's share the same source if<br>
they are connected to different satellites, with I presume different<br>
channels?<br>
They can use different subsets of the same grabber, but that then will<br>
be separate sources.<br>
I understand from what you say, that you can not share sources between<br>
HD and SD. Even when they have the same channels?<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Presumably he's using both boxes on the same dish, pointing at the same satellite. I guess he wants to set up the HD PVR to only record the HD channels, which would require a separate lineup. Conceivably he could use up to 3 lineups depending how he wants it configured (Receiver 1, SD-Only; Receiver 1, HD-Only; Receiver 2, All channels). But it would probably be better to just use 2 at most and hide the channels he doesn't want by clearing the "visible" flag.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Karl<br></div></div>
