Are DTV DvRs dual-tuner?

[getstuff4less]

Hello,

This is a generic question, but can one record two HD shows at once like on Dish?

Thanks!

Yes!
But, unlike the Dish DVRs it can't feed a second TV with a different program.

Get Stuff,

Yes, DirecTV DVR's can record two shows at a time. DirecTV's Dvr's also buffer both Tuners in HD for 90 minutes instead of Dish HD DVR's 60 minutes. If you choose to add MRV to your account then any and all DVR's on your account can share content. If you get a non DVR HD receiver and have MRV (Multiple Room Viewing) you can playback any DVR content on the NON DVR HD receiver.

The D* DVR's work like a E* DVR in single mode would.

and yes you can record 2 HD, 1 SD & 1 HD or 2 SD channels at once. I do it all the time

Can you get an OTA tuner like on DN? Then record three things at once.

 

[Mr Tony]

you can get a AM21 which would give you OTA channels but the limit is still 2 tuners to record.
So you can record 2 satellite, 2 OTA or 1 of each at the same time.
