This was actually checked off. I wonder if the issue was that I went in
to start recording something that had already started? My wife was
watching one show that she had paused on, and another show started
playing on the same channel that she did not want to miss. So I thought
I could go in and start recording the second show that had already
started on the same channel and it kicked her out of her paused program
(she was not happy about this). My thought was that it know that the
tuner she was watching live, which will always be the one that displays
was paused and would have started recording on the second PVR-350.

I like this option, too bad she had not set it up to record both shows.
