Thinking of switching to Direct how many HD shows can you record on 1 receiver at the same time

I was thinking of switching from Dish to Direct. But I was wondering how many HD shows I would be able to record on 1 receiver at the same time on the Sat tuners and OTA tuners. I searched around but it looks like Direct receivers only record 2 shows at the same time. Just seeing if there is any different info out.
Thanks

If your hooked up to the internet you can also download one at the same time, so technically 3, but most of the time it's 2.

Two shows at the same time per DVR is all. If you have a DVR with OTA capability it is still only two shows in any combination of sat and OTA.

Yup, If you paying the fees for the first one, it doesn't pay to not have the rest of them be DVRs too.
