Dish Network's new DVR has some of TiVo's best features

Audio-video enthusiasts thirsting for a variety of high-definition
television programming have found precious few watering holes along
the trek. For now, Dish Network's 942 digital video recorder provides
one oasis.
The 942, Dish's second high-definition DVR, is an upgrade from the
921 released in the fall. Both DVRs have integrated satellite
receivers for standard-definition and HD programs via satellite. The
DVRs also have off-the-air tuners that capture local digital
television signals carrying HDTV programming when the receiver is
attached to an antenna.
The graphic interface on the 942 is snazzier than the 921 -- a
comment on, not necessarily a criticism of, most of Dish's previous
DVRs, which have been fairly plain compared to the TiVo-powered DVRs

the bells and whistles of a TiVo, it does offer some comparable
features.
