Problem with OTA DVR

[ibooksrule]

Hi i am looking for a way to drop my cable and still get my locals in HD which i can with my dish 942 but i run to into the problem of a DVR. Will the 942 record ota HD broadcasts? if so then i still run into the problem of a a need a dual tuner i have several nights a week i record 2 broadcasts at the same time from OTA. Any ideas would be great. thanks so much

The 942 only has one OTA tuner, so you cannot record more than one OTA show at a time. If you subscribve to DISH locals (which you'll want to do if you want to do name-based recording), then you can record the same porgrams from the satellite on either of the build-in satellite tuners, but they will not be in high def.

If the rumor mill is correct E* will be providing Local HD in 50 cities this year. You will probably need to upgrade to an MPEG 4 compatible DVR but then you can record one OTA and one Local HD at the same time.
