Adding additional dvrs

We need some additional info Margaret. Who is your service provider? Thank you

most are owned by the cable company you subscribe to, so no search is there to find

Unfortunately, DIRECTV TiVo DVRs will work ONLY with DIRECTV. They cannot be modified to work with cable.

However, there are many TiVo boxes that do work with cable and they are as low as $99. See, for example:

You can get single DVR receivers that operate 1 TV. It allows you to record and still watch a different channel while the recording is occurring. You could have 2 separate receivers, one at each TV location but you would incur an additional $10 per month charge for the extra receiver. You can call 1-800-333-3474 if you'd like more information.

granmabj,

There are common connections to each receiver but there are unique connections also depending on the receiver. Solo receivers have a coax cable coming from the Dish outside connected to Satellite In. Duo receivers and DVR HD receivers have the coax cable that comes from the dish outside that connects to Satellite 1 and Satellite 2 using a splitter. There is also a cable (coax, RCA (yellow, white, red) or component (green, blue, red - video, white, red - audio) or an HDMI if HD) connected from the receiver to the TV 1. For a duo receiver TV 2 may be backfed on the cable coming from the dish outside using diplexers. This may sound confusing but you can call 1-800-333-3474 for assistance.

The problem could lie in youir HDMI cable, this is a common issue. if you swap HDMI cables and still have the same problem then bypass your A/v rec and connect your 622 direct to your tv and see if the problem persists, it it does, then your DVR needs to be replaced, you can call dish for addition troubleshooting if it is in fact your DVR.

yes you have to have 2 cables running to the dvr one for live tv and one to record with. But yes you have to have 2 lines.

TiVo works with 'off the air' TV watchers as wellNot really worth the extra money though if you just have VHF and UHF channels.

Make sure you have the correct audio settings set on the HR10. Go to messages and setup, settings, audio and play with the different settings and see if you can't get any audio to come on.

If you are able to get a dolby 5.1 audio signal through your receiver on another hd channel, then you should be getting and audio signal on your locals.

If you aren't able to get any dd 5.1 audio on hd channels, then I'd suggest (if you can) bypass the receiver and go directly to your tv (if it has speakers).

are you connecting the headphones to the tv or cable box. Also is there any home theater systems being used in this setup
