TVs not connected to each other
When I had Uverse, I could watch a show on one TV, turn it off, then go to another TV in the house and continue watching from where I left off. With DTV I have not had that option. When I had Uverse I did use their cable box so I assume thats why I could do that. Im using DTV with a Roku connected to each TV. The only way to continue on another TV is to record the show on the first. Is this normal?

Pausing live TV is a feature that exists. But the way the service is implemented, there is no shared state between TVs - each is completely independent, so they don't share the "implicit" recording created by a pause. However, the "explicit" DVR recordings are shared by the entire account, so you can set a recording on one TV and watch the recording (even while it is still being recorded) on another. This is less convenient, but does work.
