Please don't take this as DISH bashing. I want to find an affordable PVR for my father-in-law who has terminal cancer and can't do much but watch TV. He currently has DISH with a 301. He loves my Ultimate TV.
It would be easier to keep him on DISH and get him a 508/510 so it would just be a plug and play swap. The problem is... Dish PVR/DVR products appear to be totally bug filled and unreliable, at least I gather that from reading many forums. I can switch him to D* and get a DirecTIVO for a hundred bucks installed. Can anyone convince me why I should go with a more expensive single tuner 50x that doesn't appear to work most of the time?
