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
