Recording on Dish is no problem at all. We have had Dish at home for many many years. Added it to the Monte 3 yrs ago. In the RV we use a Tailgater and a vip211k receiver. The vip211k receiver has an external hard drive that turns the receiver into a DVR. An initial $40 set up fee. The box at home has built DVR capabilities.

Just a matter of looking at the guide, locate the program(s) you want to watch, hit enter, and it will ask if you want to record once, or all episodes, or only new episodes. Then you can watch when ever you want. I rarely use it, but the DW records 2-3 shows every night at home. With the home box, 722 something or other, she can watch one program while recording another. But the vip211k box in the RV is a single channel receiver and you can't watch one program while recording another. Except that you can watch a program OTA while simultaneously recording a program on sat.
