OK here's something.  I took your good suggestion to record a second show
at the same time as Ellen.  I found a channel that is available on the
antenna but not cable.  When I set it to single-record on the program
guide, it said the recorder is offline.  Yet I checked again and I could
watch live TV on the antenna source.  Anyone have ideas about what could
cause this?  Maybe the missing drivers from HDHomerun?

Do you have all the three screens in backend setup done correctly? Do you
have the channels setup and the input connections?  Just must be something
in the setup but I can't think of what it can be.

PS.  They like you to bottom post for some reason so I moved your input.
