I used to have Dish and when I moved to a rental while I build a house, I went with cable. I'm really hating it and I'm looking forward to going back to satellite. Was thinking I would go back to Dish but want to have at least 2 TV's, share a DVR, and watch HD on both of them. Sounds like the Whole Home DVR is really what I want. Dish is still working on theirs so I'm thinking DirecTV might be the way to go. I did the wiring for my new house and wanted to make sure it was correctly wired for this. At a minimum, I ran 1 CAT5E and 1 RG6 to a location. I plan on the main TV location to be in the basement so there I ran 3 RG6 just to be sure. I also have a couple of pull wires from the basement to the attic over the garage so the wire from the dish doesn't have to go down the side of the house.
What is required for wiring to do the Whole Home DVR? I read thru the thread but didn't see anything talking about it. Also, one of the TV's will be over the fireplace and I will need to buy that one. If I get one of the Samsung TV's they list will I not need a HD receiver? If I'm right, how will that connect to the HR34?
Thanks
