Whole home service and recordings...

I just got the whole home service with 2 HD-DVRs - my existing HR23 and a HR24 was added with the whole home service.  All of my recordings are currently set up on the HR23.

 

My question is, if there are 3 recordings set at the same time, will one automatically roll over to the 2nd DVR?  If not, is there a way to move scheduled recordings to the other DVR, whether through the remote, web site or an app (iPad or iPhone)?  Or is my only option to set up the recordings manually on the 2nd DVR and delete them from the original?

 

Thanks!

1. No.  Each DVR maintains it own Series Recording settings.  They're not "shared" across Whole Home DVRs.

 

2. No, there's no way to move them.  Personally, I set up duplicates on some of my DVRs so that there are backups in case something happens on one DVR.  You'll have to set up the new ones manually.

A tip if I might.  We have three DVR's.  One is assigned to my boy and he does his own scheduling and deleting.  He can watch our programs but cannot add or delete anything except on his own DVR.  That leave the other two, LR and BR.  We schedule all the season programs on the BR DVR because once set they are good for the season.  We use the LR DVR for all the football, movies and other one time recordings (with a few exceptions of course.)  This works for us and cuts way down on the running back and forth.
