How do I enable the dual receiver option after I've already told the receiver (Hughes GXCEBOT) that there was only one satellite input? I've searched through all the menus in Tivo Central and the only thing I can find is in the "status" area and it just tells me that dual receiver is "not enabled".

Also, no where in the documentation of my Hughes receiver does it mention that you could receive 2 SATELLITE signals with this receiver. It says you can receive and record 1 satellite signal while watching the input from another source (Antenna, Cable or previously recorded satellite broadcast), but it doesn't mention that you can waych one satellite signal while recording another. I'm I confused, I thought that it was possible to record one satellite broadcast while watching another as long as you had 2 signals available to the receiver?

You need to go through the DIRECTV menu dish setup again and tell it you have dual LNBs.

The original docs were written when the boxes were first shipped. At that time you couldn't enable 2 inputs, because the software didn't support it yet.
