Dish Network DVRs can operate in two modes: Single Mode or Dual Mode. The DVR is always in one of these modes. In Single Mode, the DVR box will send the same programming signal to all the televisions on your system. In Dual Mode, you can watch different programs on different televisions hooked to your Dish satellite. You cannot cancel one mode to go to another, but you can switch between the two modes on the DVR box itself.
