Is there a way that I can record one show with my dvr and watch another show on the same tv?

I have a dvr and I usually am recording one show while my kids watch their show on the second tv. I have some shows that overlap and would like to record one while watching the other with the second tv still freed up for the kids. Is there a way to do this?

Generally yes. Which DVR do you have, and how is it connected to your television?

The dvr is connected to the tv in our bedroom. It has the two channels programed in it, so it also runs the tv in our living room.

How do I figure out what kind of dvr it is?

If I can do this, life will be much happier in our house.

The DVRs should have model numbers.
