DVR Recording Question

donmigga83 · 11-08-2008, 06:49 PM

I did some searches to see if I could find an answer to my question, but I wasn't able to locate one so I thought I would ask and see if anybody had an answer for me.

Anyways my question is as follows, Direct just turned on HD locals where in live (Boise), currently I do OTA into my DVR (HR20 - I think) when I go and activate the locals that Direct is sending to me and I take away my OTA antenna will I need to resetup all of my recordings that come off of the OTA antenna currently, or will the DVR figure it out and reset them to the new channels that Direct is sending me? For example say I have a show currently recording on 7-1, but the channel that Direct is sending me is 7 will I need to reset all of my recordings to reflect that change when I remove my antenna?

Yes, it is a different channel and requires you to do a recording for that channel. You don't have to stop receiving the OTA's though. Leave them connected in case something happens to your Directv signal or something else and then at your leisure switch your recordings whenever you like.
