Would you swap?
ADVERTS 1
With the tivo case going on, just curious. This can go both ways also (think hypothetical)
IF your DVR quit working (turned off because of a lawsuit) would you change to the other sat company? Why? Or why not?
At this point, I would (even though I have both).
My main sat company is D*, but without a DVR, I would have to change I think. There are many things I would miss, sports being the main thing, but HD channels are fairly even, nationally anyway, and the DVR is one of the main things that allows me to watch how I do.
So what about you?www. sonicbabble.com The best non sat discussion on the net

If my DVR gets turned off I will save ~90 bucks a month. Can't watch TV without one. Need to get a life anyway.

Proud Staff Memberi would change providers. this is a must have for me. it's made life easier watching my favorite programs when i want without being tied down to a schedule. this tivo vs E case was one of the reasons but not a huge reason why i signed up with D. just in case
. many are confident nothing will happen with the dvr's not listed in tivo's lawsuit but i'm not that sure anymore. i hope my 622 doesn't become just another receiver.

I might give DirecTV a try. Or Bell. Or I might just pocket the money and stick with the FTA system and local channels.

I would change in a heart beat. All 5 of my receivers are DVRs. After being late to the DVR party compared to others, we've jumped in with both feet into the deep end of the DVR pool.

My brother's coming out to California for a little while ad he'd be lost without ESPN. I'll be getting back into pay TV for the first time in several years. Which should I get? My choices are Directv, Dish and Verizon? Thanks all!!!
