Re: [DISH] How about Dish Network HD vs. DirecTV?

said by dbmaven See Profile :

All DirecTV DVRs are dual tuner receivers just like DISH. That's what allows you to view one channel and record another at the same time.

And if you already buy locals from DirecTV, the HD version is included. A necessity for some people - like me - who would need a 160 foot tall tower to get an OTA signal.
But on the dual tuner dvr receivers can you hook up 2 TV's to it to watch separate programs? (2 separate TV hooks ups, 2 video and 2 audio outs. TV 1 and TV 2) That is what I mean with DISH and their dual tuner receivers. You get 2 TV's hooked up to one receiver. They gibe you 2 remotes. One in infer red and the other works by UHF so it can communicate to the receiver where ever it is in the house. Each TV can watch what ever they want. Saves you $5 per month additional TV fee.

Yes I will have to see about mounting an ant on my roof. I am about 40 miles away. I figure that the $50 to $70 for one will pay for itself in a year or so. Unless like you say they are included in the HD package.

That didn't sound like what you were describing - thanks for the clarification. No, DirecTV does not currently have that ability. Called Multi-Room Viewing, that capability is rumored to be coming "soon" - whatever that means. And since it is rumor, to me that means it doesn't exist.

And so that you don't misunderstand about locals:
- you pay for the local package
- if you also pay for the HD Access pack, HD locals are included.
But you have to buy both the local pack and the HD Access to get HD Locals.
