We currently have Dish Network. We are going to have to cancel it due to the economy. We plan to put up an antenna. We would like a DVR so we can still record our shows, my husband is gone so much that he would miss his shows, he is a trucker.

This is where we need help. Is there an affordable DVR or TiVo with no monthly fee and no phone line required? We can't hook it to the computer either. I know there is one I think by Dish but I heard it not a good system with lots of trouble. Any links you may have with the unit you mention would be so very helpful.

We have checked with Radio Shack and Best Buy. They either have monthly fees or require phone line.  Sears has one stand alone DVR but it's over 1000.00.

It needs to have a hard drive already but we don't need 200 hours of recording time. 

Thank you so much for any help!
