Well with a regular receiver you can autotune...with the dvr you record but it doesn't change the sation, it can record it in the background. So i have to record using both tuners up so one will actually change the output. Some of the podcasts are the same but mostly not. I go thru saturday/sunday book tv schedules and record anything interesting. They all don't show up on podcasts.
