Just had American Satellite over to "professionally " install my Winegard HD8020p outdoor antenna. If anyone needs an antenna installation I would highly recommend this installer. He came totally prepared and did everthing I could have wanted. I now get all the local OTA digital broadcasts perfectly.
He also does installations for Dish Satellite and offered the following info. In about 2 months Dish will be offering a high definition DVR for approximately $200.That means that if all else is equal, it will only take about 18 months to recoup the difference of owning your own HD DVR and renting it from TW.This DVR will be able to record all Dish signals and also record local OTA signals .For those of us who would like an alternative to TW,but can't live without the HD DVR, it appears that soon we will have this alternative. Furthermore, I would think that when Directv sees that Dish is offering an HD DVR at that price that perhaps they will come up with a less expensive HD DVR(currently about $900 on e-bay) than they now offer.
