I don't know why I didn't do this earlier but I set up my dish DVR with a free app from Dish TV for my iphone. You can do everything you can do with your remote with your iphone and you can actually see more information and do some pretty neat things... For those that have a dish DVR and Iphone I would suggest you set it up.. You will never have to worry about missing a show while your at the races, you just go to your phone and start the recording using this app....
pretty slick....
