Satellite digital video recording (DVR) equipment is becoming increasingly common in homes that subscribe to satellite broadcasts through the Dish Network. With DVR you can record television broadcasts while you are away from home for playback at a later time. You can also use DVR to skip over commercials during a live broadcast. Fortunately, it is possible to have satellite broadcast and DVR capabilities in two rooms of your home, with only one dual-mode Dish receiver box.
The Series2 DT (dual tuner) DVR can enable you to watch and record two analog channels or one analog and one digital channel simultaneously. If you have a satellite service and no basic cable service you are left with only one digital channel. That means your dual tuner DVR will operate like a single tuner DVR. However, if you have a Series2 DT (dual tuner) TiVo DVR, satellite service and basic cable, setting it up is not difficult. You will start watching and recording your favorite shows in no time!
