    Every morning when i first turn on the tv, the screen is black with the Dish network logo as a screen save type thing. Why does it do that? Plus, if i were to record something overnight, such as a tv show or a movie, would that logo still pop up and mess up my recording?

    So if i record a movie that comes on at say around 2 and ends around 4 am, the screen saver wont come on during that time?

    you can change the time that when the screen saver appears call dish network when the screensaver appears dish network starts downloads to your dvr like program listings etc but call dish network to be sure about recording
