we're on DISH. DVR is a722k, ant is a rooftop mounted Winegard Trav'ler. we can record two different programs on different sats while watching a recording or record one pgm while watching a second live program. DVR is in dual mode.
Bill is right. Only an open-faced dish (1000.2 or 1000.4) or the Winegard Travler will allow you to use a fully-functioned DVR, like your 722 or a Hopper.
However, ALL the other dish options (Tailgater, Pathway, domes, etc) will NOT support a fully-functional DISH DVR.
