2 HD DVRS?
i am upgrading to whole home dvr next month.
want to make sure i have right idea how it works.
i will have 2 hd dvrs and 2 hd receivers.
1- i can record 2 shows at same time on each dvr for total of 4 shows and watch later on any receiver?
2- if i am taping 2 shows at same time on each hd dvr what cani watch on those other 2 hd recevers?
just wondering if say i was taping 4 shows at once on the 2 hddvrs can i watch any live shows on the hd receivers or only shows i have saved on my dvr?

Each DVR will record two shows at the same time, total four at one time.
Each receiver can either watch a live show, or watch a recorded show from a DVR. The only limitation is that you can't have both receivers at the same time watching shows from one DVR - each DVR can only send a recorded show to a single remote receiver at any one time.

let me see if got this right?
say i have 1-hd dvr in parlor taping 2 shows at 8pm
2- hd dvr taping 2 other shows at 8pm
on the other 2 hd receivers can i watch 2 different live shows at 8pm and/or can each receiver watch something from saved dvr shows?
sorry to be confusing.
while those 4 shows re taping on hd dvrs
can i say watch live hockey game/or dvr show on hd receiver in bedroom
and wife watch live cooking show / or another dvr show on other hd receiver in kitchen?
thanks

yes. but one HDDVR can stream to one HD receiver at a time. so as long as the two HD receivers are streaming content from both HDDVR's then you are ok

so 4 shows (2 each) can be programmed to record on each dvr all at same time if want?
and on other 2 hd receivers 2 different live shows can be watched even at same time as recordings?
but the 2 hd receivers cant watch same dvr recording at same time? have to be 2 different recordings?
or can one hd receiver watch recording and the other can only watch live tv?
i thought both hd dvr recordings combine on one playlist?
wow is this confusing!!

When you get the stuff installed, here's a tip. Assign one DVR to the boss (AKA wife/significant other) and assign one to yourself. That way she can watch her recorded programs in the kitchen and you can watch yours wherever and you don't need to worry that she will be using the DVR you want to use as well.
