The advertised feature which says record 2 channels while watching the third doesn't work. When I change the channel when 2 different channels are being recorded, it says there is a conflict please stop the recording of one of the scheduled recordings.

I don't understand why we need a subscription when it runs on cable for which we can anyone give details like should we pay for both cable and subscription or just subscription because not i have a sd setup box and i only pay my cable provider
