On my Dish DVR I try to record something ahead of time on receiver 1, but when i schedule the recording for a show, it always records it to receiver 2.

The receiver is the box, while this one has two tuners in it which you have connected to different rooms.
By default, the receiver will use tuner #2 when recording. If tuner #2 is already recording something, then it’ll use tuner #1.
I don’t think there’s a way to configure the receiver so that you can choose which tuner is used for a specific show.
You can, however, use the remote to change which tuner is displaying on your TV. On the remote, just above the “1″ key is a small button labeled “Swap”. This swaps between tuner #1 and #2.
Of course, this doesn’t matter which tuner is in which room when you’re watching a recording.
menu, preferences, record plus and then your choice 1 & 2. At least that is how it is on mine.
