Dish Network hopper question?

Ok, so we just switched to dish network. From what i see, out of the four TVs that we have we can only choose to watch what is on Tuner 1, Tuner 2, and Tuner 3 (this tuner has our prime time channels on it).

Tuner 1 will most likely be used for the kids channels. (We have three kids)

Tuner 2 would be the only Tuner that we could use to watch whatever we want.

As far as I can tell, we can't use Tuner 3 for anything other than what is on prime time(abc, NBC, fox, and KHOU).

Sorry for so much info, but here is the question. Is there anyway to use Tuner 3 for other channels besides what is on prime time?

    Paul,

    I can definitely provide more information on this for you. You can change the tuner that is on the prime time channels at any time. The only time you wouldn't be able to change it is if it is currently recording as part of the PrimeTime Anytime feature. If it is outside of that time, just access that tuner and change the programming.

    To disable that feature entirely, go to Menu > Settings > DVR Defaults > PrimeTime AnyTime. Choose 'Do Not Enable' and press 'Save'. Keep in mind you can also watch any recorded shows while all 3 tuners are in use.
