Can I watch a third channel when two channels are recording?
When recording on two channels, you can still watch, pause, or rewind a third channel, depending on the channels being recorded. Here’s how it works:
- If the two recording channels are on the same multiplex, you can watch any other channel.
- If the channels are on two different multiplexes, you can only watch channels available on either of these two multiplexes.
A multiplex is a group of channels broadcast together, such as all HD channels. The T4•R allows you to watch a third channel when possible and notifies you if you need to stop recording to do so. You can also set the T4•R to highlight channels you can’t watch with an icon in the TV Guide and Channel Browser by going to: Settings > Menu Preferences > Flag Unavailable Channels.
