I am getting a 508 DVR and was wondering if anyone that has one is able to receive local programming guide info? I would like to record my local channels. I asked the salesperson but she didn't sound too sure.
If your local channels are offered by Dish and you subscribe to them, you sure can record your local channels programs. I record Sesame Street for my daughter from my local PBS channel every day.
If you are gonna hook up an antenna feed to the 508 then you can't record them.
I currently have an 811 which decodes the OTA channels and I can see them in my guide. I wanted to know if the 508 could also decode the over the air channel data and put it in my guide but it does not, only the HD DVR decode the OTA channels. oh well
