The sports tab on the home page allows you to choose favorite teams. You can then set timers to automatically record all games your teams play regardless of what channel the games are on. What a wonderful feature for fans of the British Premier League whose games can be scattered over a half a dozen or so channels!
The problem is that a seek timer is created. The Dish customer service agent told me that seek timers record the first instance of a favorite team's game it finds. There is no way to set the seek timer to record only English language programs in HD format. As a result I ended up with three recordings this Saturday, one in HD and the other two in unwatchable SD. Fortunately I am currently doing a 21 day no obligation test of the new Layer 3 DVR. Layer 3 recorded all these games in HD. For what it's worth, I could not see any difference between the Layer 3 and Dish HD picture quality on a 65 inch LG OLED tv at 12 foot viewing distance .
