Upgrade options for DVR

[Joe Satellite Fan]

Ok, guys, go easy on me. I have Dish and my MIL has Direct TV. She does not have HD and does not have a DVR. It drives me crazy every time I go to visit. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't expect her to switch and have never tried, but this no DVR thing has to go.

She doesn't have any HD TVs and I doubt that she will for some time, but a DVR would sure help her. What would it cost (if anything) to change out her single tuner receivers (she has 2) for a DVR. She has had her Direct account for 3 years.

I know that Dish will upgrade this situation for free, but have no idea about Direct TV. I tried to figure that out from their website and of course here, but didn't really get anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

The only real way to tell is to call and ask. Her payment history, length of time as a customer, other factors all determine the deal she might get.
