But if you remember how DVRs before the genie worked, even if they only needed one coax, you had to have a physical port on the splitter for both tuners. One just got capped off.

I don't think that's true. That sounds like the kind of brain-dead instruction given to people who must make perfect installations* but don't have to understand why they're doing what they're doing. I'm not saying you're in that class of people. I'm saying that's the class of the instructors.
Bubby?

But yes, he is an idiot. But he's the best directv guy I've found. He's solved many problems that the regular ones can't. Hes an idiot savant.

Wow. Cool, yet sounds frustrating.



*Like the cable installer I hired who had been taught that every F81 introduced a 3dB signal drop. Wow, was he amazed when I strung together six of them and showed him a half dB drop!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
