The system records all the Prime Time shows on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox from 7 &#8211; 10 each evening (Arizona Prime Time), and saves them for 8 days.  During that time it still leaves 2 tuners free, so I can record up to 6 programs at the same time during Prime Time.  This is a big deal, as I was always juggling programs around and having to decide which shows to record and which to skip during prime time.  I&#8217;ll probably also sample some new programs that I haven&#8217;t bothered to record before, since they&#8217;ll all be there ready to view any time.<\/p>\n<p>Other incremental improvements include faster interface, 2 TB of storage, and multiple USB ports, but 1 and 2 above are the biggies for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dish network just released a new DVR (the Hopper), which I upgraded to yesterday.
