Multiple Tuners, Single Provider
I am using PVR-250 as 1st tuner, DVCR as 2nd tuner.
I have PVR-250 connected to my digital cable box and I'm using the IR-200L to control it.
I have DVCR connected to the analog feed (an extra cable box costs $6/month here).
When I went to configure the providers, I had to choose DirectTV for one and Dish for the other because when I disable channels above 100 for the analog feed, it also disabled them for the digital feed.
I would be a great feature if each tuner could use the same provider, but have different channels enabled/disabled. It's a no-brainer for cable subscribers to spend an extra $100 to use the analog feed to record multiple shows simultaneously, but the channel setup is a pain in the but especially since the satellite providers don't like up with the cable providers (some extra channels on satellite, some channels ONLY on cable).
