501 Q: Record one watch another?

I have not found an answer for this:

Can you watch one DN channel and record another DN channel with the 501?

[Chris Blount]

Basically, no. The 501 does not have dual tuners. The upcoming 721 will have them.

[Karl Foster]

When are you guys ever going to get the 721? I thought it was supposed to be in April.

[John Corn]

*sigh*....I don't know Karl, I'm a little ticked we didn't here something regarding this. :mad:

[Mark Lamutt]

My answer to a 721 is that I have 2 -501s. I got my first 501 for free through last year's Club Dish deal. I got my second 501 for the $199 Dishplayer upgrade program. So I have far less money invested in two 501's than the cost of one 721.
