My question is does ANYONE have fully functional pvr on this unit?
I can record a show no problem, but i can't change the channel as it is recording. Also the timeshift feature on live tv has no rewind/fastforward. Only pause and stop work.
Can anybody confirm that this is a problem with all premier units?
I would love to have full pvr ability, but it seems that it is hopeless for now.

I have an Elite, which uses almost identical PVR functions except that the Elite has two tuners. I have been able to master most of the PVR functions, to the point that I can now get it to do pretty much anything I want, reliably. Admittedly there are a few funky things, but they are easy to work around once identified. I would recommend reading stickies in both the Premier and Elite sections of this site.
The 'no channel change' thing is a characteristic associated with the single tuner. When a recording is in progress, you are only able to view the channel that is recording or any other channel that is on the same transponder frequency (maybe 10-20 channels). Hence the reason for the second tuner on the Elite.
As regards the time shifter, I personally keep mine set to 'auto' as I believe this offers more flexibility (but this may be irrelevant). Once activated, I have no problem using the FF and RW buttons. And for super-speed movements, use the < and > (volume) buttons whenever the time-shifter window is open on the top of the screen. The time-shifter window is opened with the Play button and closed with the Exit button (when the TS is in 'auto' mode).
Hope this helps.
