I just joined the 21st century. Dish people are coming Monday to install two "dual channel" DVRs for us. Looking forward to it.
Here's my City Slickers question. Can I watch one thing while I'm recording something else on the DVR? ;-)

Ive had mine for about 2.5 years now and love it. (My wife uses it mostly though) 
You can record something while watching/recording something else. Are they still 100 hours? I'm thinking about calling them to see if they will offer me an upgrade for staying on board.

I couldn't stand the Dish DVR I had. I had TiVo with cable before, and switching to Dish DVR seemed a few steps back. Luckily I was able to get a DirecTV TiVo and redeemed myself. I would rather be without a DVR than use the Dish DVR. YMMV.
Now I am using a Series3 TiVo with a OTA antenna.

The Dish DVR interface is fugly. Also, the one I had could not watch one live while recording another. I assume you're getting a higher-end model if you're doing that.

If they're getting what I have, it can record one while live-recording another.

I'm on MacNN forums, but no longer have a Mac...

Railroader, I feel your pain. I went from a Direct Tivo to an IO dual tuner DVR. I like being able to record/watch two channels at once but optimum has the worst menu I have ever seen. I shuoldn't have to press guide twice to get to the guide, nor should it be cluttered with ads and the DVR menu isn't much better.
cmeisenzahl, don't be put off by cable users telling you that cable is better than satellite. My cable picture goes out as much for no reason as my directtv did because of bad weather. On demand is cool, but the inability to fast forward at a decent speed annoys me every day.

I have used both satellite (DISH & DTV) and many cable TV providers, and signal reliability has always been fair between them all.
