Question about Fios TV+ DVR assignment

Hopefully a qualified Verizon technical support representative will read this.

I have Fios TV+ with Premium DVR service, which is 12 tuners and 200 hours.

My equipment is two VMS4100ATV DVR's, and two Verizon Stream (V2) boxes. 

Both of the Stream boxes allow me to schedule and watch recordings, however it appears they are both connected to the same DVR. From what I can tell, one DVR is rapidly filling up, because everything is being recorded to it. The other DVR appears to be empty.

The old equipment (4100/Mini) had a menu option that allowed the user to assign which DVR the Mini was connected to.  I've been unable to find such an option with the new equipment. Is there such an option, and if so, where is it located? And if not, how do I get the second DVR to begin recording? 

Thank you.

Disregard -  I figured it out. There is no way to select which DVR to use, but the second one is recording programs as well. They've just made it really difficult to figure out which DVR is doing the recording.

What did you do? 

I have two VMS4100atv also with 8 Set top boxes.  Recently i thought I lost some recordings but they were on the other VMS.  What is the typical way to allocate the STB to either VMS?  Do I even have a choice?  I
