Maximum PVR playbacks with 4K PVR?
For some reason, if one TV is playing a recording (non-4K) then I am unable to playback a 4K recording. I get the following message: Playback limit has been reached. Too many TVs in your home a...
I found a way to recreate the issue. I have a 4K TV#1 that is using a 5602 box. On TV#1 I start playing an HD recording. On the 4K TV#2, I start to record a hockey game on the 4K Sportsnet channel 920. So far, so good. Now I try to watch the 4K Sportsnet recording on my 4k TV#2 while the hockey game is still being recorded. This is when I get the message:
Playback limit has been reached. Too many TVs in your home are playing recordings or delayed TV.
In summary, while TV#1 is playing an HD recording it is not possible to simultaneously record and watch a 4K recording on TV#2.
I know that it is possible to simultaneously record and playback a 4k Sportsnet channel. I frequently will record a hockey game on Sportsnet 920. Later I will watch this 4K recording while it is still being recorded. It appears that the catch is that no one else can watch a second recording while I am watching & recording the 4K channel.
