If you get a DVR, then you will need two coax feeds from your dish. That will allow you to record one program while watching a second one.

Enjoy!

So in other words, Barry, the one coax cable won't be sufficient with a DVR, and I will need to run another wire through the walls/floors in order to watch and record different channels? If so, I probably need the company to come out for the install?
