Hi, DISH Duo Receivers can only support recording 2 programs simultaneously while watching a previously recorded event. These receivers only have two satellite inputs so recording two programs and trying to watch a third live program in not possible on these receiver. The Hopper does have this ability but it the only DISH receiver that does. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know, thank you!

According to Dish Network, You can't. You have to record the movie you're watching on a single receiver, you can watch movie one while recording movie two if it's on a dual tune receiver. One other fact that they don't tell you is that you can only have 1000 recordings on a hard drive. no matter how much space is left on it, it will not record anymore.
