I still find my post to be as accurate as any reader needs. If only one tuner is available it makes no difference if it uses tuner 1 or tuner 1 and then tuner 2 as either way only one tuner can be used at any time.
Both tuners can be used at the same time if the customer chooses to watch one program while recording another. That's the way many people choose to use a DVR and that's the way all DirecTV DVRs have been designed. That's what Dish calls using the DVR in "single mode". If you didn't know this I hope that I have explained it simply enough for you to understand.
If the two tuners are used to support separate TVs then using one of them to record a program means that one of the TVs will not have the ability to watch a different program during the duration of the recording. This is what is called dual mode and, personally, I found it useless because of this and because one of the TVs was stuck having only SD programming.
