Default Dish benefits

We've had Dish network for years, brought the DVR with us when we moved, so we kept all the recordings that were done before.
Their DVR system was one of the deciding factors for me. Other companies did not allow you to record on TV2 and then watch the show on TV1
This allows us to have 2 recordings happening at the same time, while watching a third. If or when ATT Uverse becomes available I will look carefully at them.
A relatively new feature with our package is "Blockbuster at home"; sorta like netflix, you create a queue of movies and get DVD's mailed to you. We used that to catch up on Downton Abbey seasons 1 & 2 prior to the start of S3.
