Without a DVR receiver you lose the ability to record now and play back
later *with the same picture quality*. You could still record to a VCR,
but you won't see the same quality on playback.

We have a combo DirecTV receiver and TiVo PVR/DVR that offers features
ike "Season Pass" that will automatically record all episodes of a
particular program (with or without repeats) without us having to worry
about scheduling each episode individually and worrying whether it's on
at a different time or whether it's a 2-hour episode instead of the
usual 1-hour one.

Brikp, what would be missing without a DVR receiver? As you can see I'm
totally ignorant regarding dish viewing. Do you have to ask for particular
models? Are some better than others? I put dishdepot.com into my favorites
for now. More research to do. Thanks for your reply. Sherry
