We have used the Dishnetwork version of the DVR for years while on the road, and it works great as stated by Carl and Susan above.
Recently we ugraded to the HD DVR, and it allows you to output to other media devices through a USB port, including a laptop, and I suppose maybe an ipod.
We can also watch Dish-on-Demand movies direct through our Ethernet Network now, and I assume DirectTV now does the same. It may be possible to watch and record on demand movies through an air-card without having a satellite antenna at all.
