Yeah Bret, that's me...Mr. Trouble. My 2-Dish system w/ Locals has been solved. You basically have to have a switch with a power source...like an SW44. Once you have that, it no longer a problem.

As for the D-VHS problems, I just called and they are going to replace it. It appears that I was shipped a previously returned unit. DishDirect was very responsive and they are shipping me out a new one today and placed a call ticket on the original.

As a receiver, it works great. It also has front panel plugs so I can hook up my 8mm camcorder to record. I tend to agree with you...an all in one machine may be too much. The 5000 works so well with my standalone VCR that I'm not really sure that I will gain a whole lot with DVHS. I'm going to stick with it but as stated in prior posts, waiting on a recordable DVD may be the best bet.
