I have a customer who has Dish Network and is unwilling to switch to Direct TV. He wants to add HDTV and a PVR. I personally have a Tivo model SVR2000, mapped to a cable system and it comes with the Season Pass feature which is a feature he also wants. Can anyone tell me about the package that Dish Network offers that would give me the HDTV and the PVR. I have heard of the unit 721 with a dual tuner but cannot find anyone that has it or can tell me about it including Dish Network.Is the Dish Network PVR actually a Tivo or another brand and if so who makes it? Does their PVR have features such as Season Pass and does it have discreet codes? Can a Tivo series 2 work with a Dish Network receiver and if so has does it get its mapping program? Since I definitely need discreet codes, any suggestions on how to put together this system would be appreciated.
dvd, I can tell you this much, if he wants HDTV and PVR you will need to have two seperate DISH boxes. One for the HDTV and one for the PVR. dISH will be coming out with the 921 HDTV PVR system but who knows when that will be and how good it will be. DISH also doesn't have the season pass. If he want's that then he needs to go with the TiVO. So to make him happy I would try a TiVO unit with a basic 301 and also a DISH 6000 series for HDTV. It is a lot of boxes on the TV though. Are you going to be putting the equipment in a cabinet somewhere and using IR emitters?
