MRDVR will not work on the DCT's (digital converter terminal). All you get are the channels with the DCT. (every channel but the high-def ones of course)

The QIP2500 set-top box has a program guide and supports VOD. The digital converter does neither; it is just a tuner.

Thank you again. If I have a HD Multi Room DVR on the main Tv is there any reason I need anything but a digital convertor on the other TV's if I do not care about a Program Guide or VOD on them? Thank you

Lets be careful here; is this about the DCT-700 or the digital converter box for digital OTA reception - the one with the $40 government coupon? We have had multiple people post here thinking they could that OTA box on FiOS, which of course they cannot. From the posts so far I cannot tell, we need dedvice names and/or model numbers to be sure.
