If you have a Genie HD DVR, the maximum amount of programs that can be recorded is 5. However, this number will be less if Genie clients are being used as the Genie HD DVR is trying to record. For every Genie client being used (MAX 3 at the same time), there is one less TUNER for recording on the Genie HD DVR (HR34, HR44, HR54, HS17).

If you have an older generation HD DVR (HR20, HR21, HR22, R22, HR23, HR24) then the maximum amount of programs that can be recorded is 2. If two programs are concurrently being recorded, though, you must watch one of them since the older gen only has 2 tuners. If both are being used to record, you cannot watch any other program.
