Hi All,
I'm a newbie here & I hope this is not an overly repetitive post. The short of it: I have a single LNB dish & a DirecTV receiver connected to one TV and I am a renter. In about a year I will buy an HDTV & review the state of satellite HD programming. For now I'd like to add a DVR to my setup & it appears to me I have two options:
1. Upgrade to a DirecTV DVR R10, then buy & install a new a triple LNB Dish - for future HD? This choice requires a one year commitment, a $99 outlay for R10, plus $ for the new dish (I don't know $ or how to buy, install.)
2. Switch to Dish, get a 522 DVR & new dual-Dish & check them out before next years plunge into HDTV.
I appreciate your comments & thanks for your patience with this.
