I'm still on the fence regarding Comcast or Dish Network. I know that with Comcast, you do not need a converter box unless you want a DVR or digital channels. In VA, we had 2 boxes and 4 other TVx on regular coax.

If we go with Dish Network, does each receiver need a box? They advertise that you can watch whatever is recorded on your DVR on any set in the house. Does anyone know how this works? If you need a box for each set, does it cost extra for each box?

I know it's a lot of questions, but inquiring minds want to know. Actually, I may have Dish Network confused with DirectTV.
