Although there has been quite a bit of discussion this year on DISH network,
I was hoping someone might have some insight into a rather specific
question.

We have been using the SCOLA system for a few years now and regularly record
programming for faculty onto VHS tapes.  In an effort to go entirely
digital, we are looking at DISH network as a cheaper alternative to SCOLA.
Some quick research turned up some compatible Digital Video Recorders, but I
am unsure whether you can schedule recording times (it appears not) or
whether you can get the data from the DVR out into some other format that
people can take with them.  Is anyone recording DISH network programming for
faculty checkout?   If so, could you drop me a line with how you are
accomplishing it.

Thanks,

JP
