DVDPal (sold by Sears) does not require subscription but is only for OTA signal.
DVR - Is there a stand alone unit?
Hello, I was wondering if there is a such thing as a stand alone unit that is not tied into a subscription like TIVO or DISH or DIrectTV - I just would like to have a unit for the spare bedroom (non HD) so I can pause, stop, fast forward, rewind... Not really for recording purpose since I have a DISH NETWORK latest DVR-722 model. And I really don't want to pay extra for another DVR service through them....
