Went from two TVs to one TV; How do I switch DVR capability to the one remaining receiver?

Originally had two TVs and two receivers (Motorola VIP 1200 and Motorola VIP 1225).

My daughter moved and took the TV that had been working with the VIP 1225 receiver that was located near by and wired directly to the AT&T router. Evidently that receiver had the DVR capability.

The one remaining TV with the Motorola VIP 1200 receiver (wireless connection to the AT&T router) that I now have evidently is not configured to have DVR capability.

How do I configure this one remaining receiver to have the DVR capability?

You have one DVR....the one attached to the gateway. All other receivers (non-DVR boxes) should be receiving the DVR signal.

Your daughter didn't take the 1225 with her, did she??? Is the 1225 still wired to the gateway?

Thanks very much for this feedback. Even though the TV is no longer there, I didn't realize the one receiver attached to the gateway is the DVR. I went ahead and wired it back up to the gateway, and now have DVR restored so that my remaining TV can access it.

Thanks again for this prompt and helpful response. Much appreciated.
