Q: QuestionHow many timers are available with the Orby DVR? My Dish DVR let's me list up to 96 shows. I read in some of the answers that Orby's DVR does not distinguish between recording all shows in a series, is it possible to record only new shows in a series?

Asked 5 years ago by HighSierras.

• A:Answer there are two tuners. So you can record two shows at once. And yes, it can't tell if it is a new show or not...but I bet they change that in time. They are still a new company and keep making software upgrades to the DVR that automatically download through the dish.
