OK so for clarity.
D*and E* 's HD DVRs both offer TWO Tuners (right?) with the ability to RECORD TWO Programs AND WATCH ONE previously Recorded Show. RIGHT? That should be standard (since the UTV can do it!) .![]()
It sounds like you are saying only One Record/One Watch (Single Tuner HD DVR?).
Regardless you make a good point about "paying" for HD Content. Time Warner has ads in my Market Area asking "why pay twice?" for HD. DTV should bite the bullet and start offering a "flat" HD Program Rate.

I've under stood it to mean you can have two TVs with TWO Programs playing at the same time. So TV1 gets to watch NBC for example and TV2 gets to watch CBS... they both (I suspect) are unaware of the other's viewing and (bonus?) get access to ALL of the DVR's Recorded Shows (or maybe just ones "designated" for a particular TV/Tuner).

Hey Network TV,
This is off-topic but I'm curious . . .
I remember that years ago you had setup your UTV to AutoRecord the AFI Top 100 films. Was that a useful exercise? How many films of the top 100 did it eventually record?

Did you speak to retention? I explained to them that Comcast in my area had all the channels I actually watch in HD and had no upfront cost for their DVR. As a result, they waived the cost of the DVR. I paid $20 shipping for the DVR, Dish and the install.
