> Yeah, my 622 actually has 3 tuners and I can record on all 3 at once. Sat 1, Sat 2 and antenna 1. I’ve actually had all 3 red recording lights on a few times too. It looks like a christmas tree when you do that.

:word:

My wife called me up to the room one day thinking that something was wrong because there were all these red lights on the box. lol.

They carry all of them minus CBS cause LIN broadcasting sucks balls

no fios here yet, plus the TV will not be implemented until late next year.

You will not get an HR20. We do not stock them anymore and they have already been completely phased out. I wish we did still have the HR20’s but they will soon be a thing of the past anyway. The HR21 is the better HD DVR, just nobody knows it yet. Wait until more people start to use the On-Demand. But it is very hard to tell a customer that they just paid $299 for a receiver that has rendered their OTA useless. But still you could not pay me to switch, I love My DirecTV, DirecTV\>\*

May need a sub to read here [http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=106995](http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=106995)

But there is hope I think, you may see DTV offer some sorta OTA USB tuner I’d imagine.
