Yep I have the same setup and this is the way to go. I record it on my Dish receiver and then either record it to dvd or edit it with the pause on my remote on the dvd recorder to edit out the commercials. Great way to go. Just run the video out on the receiver to the recorder.
{/quote]I'm a newbie with similar concrerns:
1. I have an older Dishnetwork receiver (ISO 2200) with no recording capabilities. Can I still follow your directions? When you say "receiver", does that mean a newer model with pvr capabilities?
2. Just making sure I'm following your "path" correctly: a) sat coax IN to my Dishnetwork ISO2200 receiver > OUT to a DVD recorder (Panny DMR-E85H or Lite-On LVW5005). Still wondering which to buy.
3. Will this config allow me to "time-shift" ? Can I enter VCR-like commands, such as record FoxNews channel 205 from 8:30am-9:30 am.

Trust me, I've lived on this Site for the last week, absorbing contributor knowledge like a sponge, read the FAQs, but still find myself confused with the incredible variety of DVD recorder capabilities.

For instance, I thought the Panny 85 was perfect...then I learned the TV Guide doesn't work for satellite. No big problem, I can enter requests manually...IF I CAN DO IT LIKE IN #2 ABOVE). Then I wodered if it would play DVDs I made on my computer utilizing a NEC +R burner?

Then I learn the Lite-On 5005 works with both + and -, but doesn't have a hard drive, but that upcoming models will.

I'm impressed by the knowledge of the "seasoned veterans" on this Board.
Thanks...have a great Thanksgiving.
