Number of recordings
Recently our DVR died. We had it replaced and found that that our recording scheduling didn't work. We can't record three shows at once. Our old DVR could. Thus for example, we used to record the three network evening news shows - ABC, CBS and NBC. Now, it declared a conflict and recorded nothing. Why the change? I've read it is the number of tuners in the device. Why with new ones a switch to a lower capacity. We've had two DVRs before and they weren't limited.

@Falcon_7766 : If it only has two tuners, see if you can swap it out (e.g. at the Spectrum store) for one that has four (e.g. a Spectrum 210.)

Just to give a more official answer, the amount of tuners can vary depending on equipment you receive. Originally, DVR's had 2 tuners that would either allow 2 recordings, or the ability to watch one channel while you record another. This is the type you currently have and are still widely available. Most of the newer units that are Spectrum labeled currently have 4 tuners. Some that were previously offered also had 6. You could receive any DVR equipment available when it's exchanged if the equipment and guide type it uses is still in use. If you do go to swap out equipment, you could always receive another 2 tuner as we aren't able to guarantee any specific equipment when exchanged.
