very cool
So what did he set you up with? I thought maybe a 6x8 multiswitch
also couple thoughts on the DVR...some quick things
-set up a favorite unless you want all those pesky shopping channels in there
-set up the 30 second skip so when you use the DVR it skips automatically 30 seconds and not "slip" which is like a fast forward. Here is the post on how to do it (and pics)

-when you are on a sports channel that red button in the corner pops up. If you do nothing it "sits" there. I usually hit "exit" which does make the unit go a little faster
otherwise have fun and ask questions. We're here to help
Some would rather have Slip over Skip, that said, you can choose whichever one you want and go back and forth with the info Ice gave the link to.
