I just replaced my RCA DirecTV receiver with a Philips DSR6000 and have a small problem that maybe someone else has found a way around. I have always distributed the satellite content to the kitchen and bedroom via the RF output on the receiver. I connect the rooftop TV antenna to the receiver and then from there to a splitter that feeds the signal to the bedroom and kitchen. When I need to watch a local channel in the kitchen I used to just turn off the satellite receiver or hit the button on the remote to pass the RF through the receiver to let the signal from the antenna pass to the bedroom and kitchen.

Now with the DSR6000 the only way to pass the RF from the antenna is to put it into Standby mode. If the unit starts recording a program it comes back to life and the signal from the antenna is blocked. Does anyone have a workaround for this problem?
