HR 20 questions from E* Sub

[Grandpa J]

I am a current E* sub considering changing to D* as I need to go to MPEG4 DVR receivers in either case Questions -

1) The HR20 info says it has 2 OTA tuners but I take it the are not now operational

2) Does it take 2 separate cable runs from the Dish to the two satellite receiver tuners rather than the E* single cable run and separater at the receiver

3) Does the HR20 have "name based recording" like TiVo and Dish 942

Thanks all

1. I thought it only had 1 OTA tuner, I will have to look into that.
2. Yes it does take 2 seperate runs, no splitting device inside the unit
(but that would have been nice ,if possible)
3. Yes the HR-20-700 is name based recording

Keep in mind, it is NOT TIVO based, but very user friendly
