Question on upgrading to Whole Home DVR
I live in a two story house that has no attic.
I currently have a directv DVR downstairs and a regular box upstairs in my bedroom.
The cheap company that built our house only ran cable to that location.
My two teenage sons are hogging the downstairs TV. *shock*
I would like to get a DVR in each of thier rooms, but thru a dish on the second floor.
This way the wires can be run directly into thier rooms.
So my question is. Is it better to have one dish, and run cable everywhere to do a Whole Home DVR or should I got with 2 dishs with 3 dvrs?
Thanks in advance

Well, only you can answer that question. You can't have WHDVR with two dishes, though. And DirecTV technicians are pretty good at running additional coax cables from your current dish if needed.

the cables from the dish needs to go to where your ground source is, usually where the electric meter pan is. so the wires might not run directly to the bedrooms.
