It's basically a computer motherboard with a
hard drive. Everything is saved to the disk in a compressed format.
Yes, most Tivo units have the ability to record two shows at once, or watch one
and tape one assuming you have two input sources. Split cable, two
satellite receivers, etc.
At one time Dish used Replay instead of Tivo
units to power their DVR options. Replay is a similar service, but it is
not the industry leader. It's Tivo's competitor. I think it is
jointly owned by Microsoft. If you get the reciever with a DVR built in
then it usually has 2 receivers built in to it. I know my direct tv with
tivo has two tuners.

so I'll know whenever we are able to get one. lol I know you can record several
hours of shows without a tape or anything.....but can you record multiple shows
at the same time with one of those? Meaning two shows, on two different channels
on at once?
Just curious, if not they need to
invent something that can do that. lol Since we want another Dish, I'm thinking
when we do about the one that comes with a DVR built in the receiver. By the
sound of it, sounds like a Tivo unit.....know anything about those?
I know one thing, when we are able
to get one.....and able to start collecting some of the Dvd's I want...I'll be
like Lowell working on last years. ROFL
