When I am recording a show I cannot watch another show if I change the channnel it will stop recording
It also could be that the DVR is programmed for one satilite connection. I has the problem with a bad cable and it would still record but it was a blank screen. You need to go into the menu and setup area and check the setting.
If it is a new dvr then is was not programmed but if it just stopped then look at the cable. Some DVR's may block access to the SAT. connection with no signal but not all of them.
A slight change that the mulitplexer at the dish went bad.
Check the back of the DVR to make sure BOTH cables from the dish are properly connected to the receiver. Make sure they are properly tightened. It sounds like one of them has come loose, because if the receiver only has one working cable coming in from the dish it can only do one thing at once- you can only record one show at a time with one cable. You can also go into the receiver's setup menu and run a system test, which will help you diagnose the issue.
