Multiple DVRs

Im sure this has already been asked, but if I have 2 HD DVRs, how I can I set it up so NOMAD gets the data from both? Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks!

the Nomad has an unified playlist. so as long as both HDDV'R's are in the same networks the Nomad, the Nomad will combine both playlist into one.  the Nomad will also give the option to filter the playlist by HDDVR

I have 4 DVRs all connected via ethernet. At times it displays all recorded shows and at times it doesn't. Also strange is when I "hide" a DVR it still displays shows from that DVR. So far I was able to only download 1 recorded show. The percentage complete never increases. Most times it is "Preparing" and shows 5% and never increases. Right now it is Preparing a show and it states "calculating remaining time" and is at 60%. The strange thing about this one is that it started preparing as soon as I cancelled another show (one at 5% that wasn't moving) and was immediately at 60%. I now it is supposed to take an hour for an hour show but it was approach.ing 2 hours.

 

Any ideas?

Here's an update. My post above as you can see was at 12:58. I went shopping with my wife and just returned home. It is still Preparing at 60%.

 

Yes, all my DVRs are "Allow" and all "Enabled"

And how are your DVR's connected to the router?  Wireless, powerline, Cat5 cable, Whole Home BB DECA module?

In any event, .I only installed it Saturday morning (11/19). The more I stopped and started the application the better it seemed to get. Probably my imagination Laughing But all sems well now. I will say this - the playback is much better than Slingbox. I wish I would have had it 2 weeks earlier for my Myrtle Beach trip, but I got it for my bday whyich was after I returned.
