A look at Dish Network's HD receiver/recorder and Toshiba's tunerless TVs

(KRT) - THE GIZMOS: Dish Network Dish Player DVR-942; tunerless TVs
from Toshiba.
TOPS IN TOWN: What's the richest source for programming to show off
your super-grade, high-definition TV? At present, that honor goes to
satellite TV provider Dish Network and its second-generation HD
receiver/recorder, the Dish Player-DVR 942.
While broadcast networks reserve most high-def shows for prime time
or weekend afternoons, there's always something super-sharp and
sparkly playing on this box - live on Dish's (unrivaled-in-quantity)
19 satellite-fed HD channels or waiting in reserve on its
hard-disk-drive video recorder.
Dish Network is the "we try harder" brand in pay TV, and the DVR 942
is quite the technological statement. It features two high-definition
and two standard-definition satellite TV tuners, plus high-def and
standard-def broadcast tuners.
Working this box to the max, you can record from any two sources
simultaneously while watching something previously captured on the
hard drive. (The 250 GB drive holds about 25 hours of HD content, 120
hours in standard def, or combinations thereof.)
