<p><em>Regarding the recording of two channels and watching a third......

<p></p>
<p>Just gave your scenario a crack on my s7090.</p>
<p>I could not get the machine to lock up when switching around the channels.</p>
<p>I was recording TV One and Prime and I could happily switch around all the channels. If I tried to go directly to a channel that I could no longer access, because both my tuners were using other transponders, I got the banner "Invalid Entry" displayed. But no lock up.</p>
<p>I am running the latest firmware that I downloaded from DishTV's website and installed manually. It is Version 1.61. I don't know if it has been sent out via OTA but it certainly does not seem to have the lockup problem that you are experiencing. (It certainly still pops up those screens when a series ends. Grrr!)</p>

<p>That sounds very interesting. I will give your scenario a try and report back. We may have to start a DishTV thread in these Forums. It will have to be a big one as there are lots of 'quirks' with these boxes.</p>
<p>The s7090 should not 'lock up' (But I have had mine do this a few times, but under different circumstances.)</p>
<p>I am not sure what the EPROM reset is. (Haven't had to do one of those!) </p>
<p>FYI. You can just hold the Power Button on the physical s7090 for about 10 seconds to get it to switch off when its locked up. You will still loose your recordings but it saves switching it off at the wall. (That is one of the many things that isn't in the manual.)</p>
<p>If you do go back and load an older firmware, if you can still get a copy, you can turn off the OTA upgrades via the Settings menu to stop it being upgraded.</p>

<p>Yes you are correct it does try to install the new firmware OTA , (Fri-Sun ) hopefully they will stop broadcasting soon.</p>
<p>We also have a <strong>Veon SAT 101</strong> ( a clone of the DishTV S7070r) which we use on (Fri-Sun ) and turn off the DishTV for those days.</p>

<p>Alan, I have same satellite Dish S7090 PVR as you. I would be interested to know if, since the changes to the way Prime is broadcast through satellite whether you are experiencing some problems that I have. You are suppose to be able to record 2 channels and watch a third (its in their marketing material and use to work) - doesn't now because of so-called groupings of TV channels. Prime seems to be the culprit here. If you record Prime and say TV1, but are watching TV3 and then change to Prime, a banner comes up on Prime and jams the whole system and you can't use your remote to change channels or get off Prime. You have to turn TV off at wall and then you lose all recordings. Dish TV advised me to do some sort of Eprom reset (whatever that is). If I am not the only one to have this problem - perhaps they can do a firmware upgrade.</p>
<p>Thanks, Sue</p>
