For whatever reason neither Dish or Directv have ways to record. If you had cable you could connect a 1394 enabled stb to your DVHS and record but not from Dish or DIRECTV.
At one time dish had a 1394 port on one of their boxes but they never enabled it and eventually stoped making the boxes with it altogether.
You can however get a HDTivo with DIRECTV and hack it to enable show extraction.
