    Best DVR option for use with 811?

    Hi. I'm in the process of switching to Dish from DirecTV. The deal I got includes a Dish 811 receiver for HD and what I'm wondering is what is the best DVR option for this receiver? Basically, I'm looking for the most seemless DVR integration for the 811. (I don't want to put up the cash for a...
