Tuner Efficiency

Hi all - I noticed that 2 tuners are consumed if I have 2 ATV both watching the same live channel. Anyway to leverage a single tuner for this use case? I believe the DVR also works the same way meaning if I am recording a program and watching that program at the same time, 2 tuners are consumed.

There is no easy way to share a tuner between two ATVs.

With the DVR, you can start recording a show and then watch the in-progress recording from both TVs. It’s a little confusing at the moment, you would need to:

  • start watching the channel on an ATV
  • swipe down the Quick Bar
  • swipe down to the Record button and click it
  • start the recording
  • hit Menu twice to leave the Quick Bar and video player
  • click the show again
  • click Watch from the Start
