    DIsh 722 DVR is amazing! Enough said :D Having said this, I really don't understand why there is no option to allow a user to select recordings on TV1 or TV2 tuner on a recording by recording basis. You have to go through this roundabout way to first setup a preferred TV1/TV2 for recording...

    Why no international news channels on Dish?

    We hear all this rhetoric about "global economy" and free trade by our bright politicians. However, I see no trace of any international news feeds in our world here in the US.
