I have used TIVO with dish network for years. A standalone Tivo box works with IR blaster to change the channels. DVR boxes I was told by Roddy were available a couple years ago but required me to pay for the receiver out the pocket. Seeing that Tivo is better I staid with Tivo. However did anyone have problems getting more than one TV turned on. It seemed the Roddy had to re-run cable from the closet through my phone conduit because the other line could nor carry a signal and couldn't be pulled out nor an additional line fished through that same conduit.
If someon else had problem like this and was able to run the line through the actual original coax tubing let me know what you did.

Nope - this didn't come up. We can put it on the agenda for a second
round of talks if this first round ears fruit.

It's no lose. Worst case, we're no worse-off than before. Best case,
we can move forward.
