DVR

My In laws are moving into a Senior Living facility. They provide Direct TV. They have a DVR they offer but you have to have the TV on the channel and on to record. Is there a way to upgrade the DVR and pay separately a rental fee for a DVR that records multiple TV programs. This is what they are used to and want to continue.

Most likely they are a MDU (Multi Dwelling Unit) system that DTV doesn't service so DTV residential receivers will not work on it.  You have to use what the system owners provide.

Also, I'll bet the recorder is recording from the component or other outputs from the DTV client/receiver, and that's against DTV policy I'll bet.
