can't dvr and watch another channel, humming sound

Approximately 6 months ago, I could not watch another channel while using the dvr, or "tape" 2 shows at once. I reset, checked the transponders etc. I called directv tech support and we went through it all again. I even moved the coax cables. The tech said that the since it didn't work, there was a problem with the cables. I checked to cables and the connection to the dish itself it appeared to be in working condition.

The box also has a strange humming sound coming from it. Now I am getting rerun recordings of shows that are set to record first run programs only.

Could the box be broken?

Thanks.
