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.

Ok educate me some more about
Tivo, 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
