Since all DVRsare configured to decode unstacked signals, adual-output destacker is needed to convert theantenna’s stacked signal into two unstackedsignals.• Adual-output destacker is required becauseDVRs, such as TiVo, have two unstacked inputs,whereas standard receivers have only one input.Adding the Second Mobile Receiver/Controller• Refer to “Two TracVision Mobile Receivers” onpage A.7 for details.Recording Limitation• Since the mobile receiver/controller controlssatellite selection, the DVR can record anychannel that is carried on the currently selectedsatellite; however it cannot record a channel thatis carried on a different satellite. For example, ifyour mobile receiver/controller is tuned to achannel on the 119 satellite, you would not beable to record a program on the 101 satellite. Youwould need to switch to the 101 satellite on themobile receiver/controller.54-0376A.21
