Using the DVR is easy on either syste. I had directv but opted to go to dishnetwork this time around. They charge way less. Directv charges for every dang thing.
I have four tv's in the house with dish on each one..two have dvr and the other two in the kids rooms don't (they dont' need it) and I pay with tax $64.99 ...we have tons of channels. With directv I was paying $130 a month for the same thing.
If I had to choose between them again I would still pick dishnetwork.
