Default Tonight on NOVA....

My dishnetwork dvr has two tuners also.


Which means that you're paying an extra $5 per month for PVR use... And
perhaps another $5 per month for renting that unit... I have probably
the first PVR unit that DishNetwork came out with (which I bought)...
Since it doesn't do the video-on-demand stuff that the new ones do,
there is no way for DishNetwork to know that it is a PVR unit attached
and as such, I don't have to pay the extra $5 for PVR access... Yeah, it
only does around 20-30 hours of recording, but unless I'm gone on
vacation it's unlikely that I need that much storage space anyway... I
just wish there was an easier way to transfer the stuff from it's
harddrive to my computer than a 1:1 realtime playback and record...
