Thanks. This is helpful. Let's say I get a yard sale HD tv just to facilitate the install but I never turn it on, the DVR on my main tv would still work right?
If I then at a later date disconnected the 2nd TV from the whole house receiver would the main DVR still work?
The reason I'm going through all these scenarios is because I don't need/want a second TV and while I'm willing to buy a cheap yard sale tv or borrow a friend's to get the install done, once things are installed I dont need the other tv and I'd like to return the extra TV.
Hi,
I don't think you can remove the second TV Whole House DVR requires at least two TV's. I see your problem though. You want more than two tuners to be able to record multiple shows at once. What DVR do you have now? Charter has said that they currently do not offer Whole Home Installs, but it looks like they will honor and support exisiting Whole Home installations. This is what I found online:
Now, I don't know if that applies to TWC at this time or what. TWC is still offering Whole House DVR. I would submit your questions to
The other option I would suggest would be at the Direct Forum link above to ask the rep about a second DVR box if you don't want or can't do Whole House DVR because of one TV. But say to the rep, "I really can't afford the full rental of a second DVR, and don't want to buy a second TV for Whole House DVR." Ask if you could work out a 1 year deal on a second DVR? Just ideas I am tossing out here.
