Hey everyone! Been around, checking things out. Not exactly new to the scene but new to the forums. I have a DirecTV HR22-100, R15-300 and two H21 receivers. Thought I'd give the latest CE a go and help out. I've been with DirecTV since the late 90's - can't wait for TiVo to make a return. I just saw the Cars thread. Might have to check that out!

Just found this forum. I've been using using DirecTV and DirectPC starting when they were part of Hughes. I used DirectPC so long that I got a PC receiver card upgrade. Finally I dropped DirectPC when I got DSL.

I hate cable companies.

I don't remember how long I've been using DirecTV.

I got the following DirecTV equipment:

* RCA DRD403RA
* Sony SAT B1
* 2 DirecTV D10-200
# 2 DirecTV D10-200
# Philips DSR6000-R01

* inactive
# active

We currently have (UGH!) Time Warner cable for local channels. It is rumored from a very good source that we will get the local channels on DirecTV by Fall. When this occurs we will drop TWC and look for another DirecTV receiver/DVR to replace the two channel TIVO we have on the cable. We're also planning to try OTA Digital TV when I get around to erecting my deep fringe antenna.

ME:

I've been programming computers since the late 1960's. I "retired" from that in the mid 2000's. I've currently working as a maintenance electrician

for the county school system as a hobby until my various pensions and Social Security kick in about 3 years from now.
