Hello, I Own a Dish Network DVR. and recently moved, Where i moved i am not allowed to have Satellite. The cable company does not offer a DVR service. I wanted to know if there was ANY possible way to make this Dish network DVR work on my Cable Connection.

Not sure how other cable company work, but i have channels 2-70 are analog and work without a Digital Converter box, and then channels 100+ work on the Digital Box. it woudl not be Required to use this DVR as a Digital Converter box, just as a DVR.

No, Dish will not work with cable. You could try a tivo unit.

Why are you not allowed to have a dish system?

Unless you don't have any Line Of Sight, then no one can keep you from having Dish...
