Since I use my DVR all of the time when it's not connect to the satellite (I like to be able to watch the recorded programs while we are driving) I can tell you as an absolute fact that you CAN use your DVR while not connected to the satellite(s).
However, your DVR must maintain power between the time you have a working satellite connection and the time you want to watch TV. For me, that means I have the DVR on an inverter and it never loses power and I have full access to everything on my DVR at all times and in all locations.
Bill, you are an absolute ROCK STAR!!! Recently, we lost signal due to an intense rain storm, so we just fired up a recorded show. It worked fine!! Unfortunately, it just never dawned on me that this is how to circumvent the system in my RV. WOW!!!! I'm ordering an inverter right now!!!
