Hello

So we have 4 Bell satellite receivers in the house. 2 PVR’s. This was installed a month ago. My grandparents somehow inadvertently set up a few timers for recordings and then I get a blue screen that shows all 4 receivers and whats recording or playing on them and I cannot get to the guide or watch tv at that point.  I must go in and delete these timers and/or whats currently recording. I talked to Bell and they reset them all and said that this should NOT be happening and that I should be able to watch tv regardless of the pvr’s recording. Well that’s not true because it keeps happening!!! Bell Fibe was never like this. Wish we could get it where we are. What do we do? We are ready to get rid of the pvr’s because they are too much trouble.

Thanks for your question. That situation occurs when two channels are being recorded or there is overlap between one program and another. Is that when you are experiencing your issue?
