I´m looking forward to Hawaii Five-O premiere tomorrow[/I]

I'm also interested in checking-out Law & Order: Los Angeles,

This is one that has me also interested, I´ve followed the Law & Order franchises and I enjoy them (mostly L&O CI and the exception would be the
.short lived Law & Order Trial by Jury, but even that one I watched every chance I had.

Yeah, I'm most interested in Law & Order: LA because it's a known product (we know what we're going to get, to some extent, with the franchise). However, I am going to check-out the other two shows because they are unknowns. The Defenders (with Jim Beluchi) does not look like very good based on the short preview I saw. I don't see this show lasting more than 13-episodes...but who knows. Surprisingly, The Whole Truth (with Rob Morrow) looks pretty good, but it will be interesting to see if this show gets old quickly. Still...I am seriously considering dumping The Defenders and setting a timer for L&O: LA instead. Offhand, I don't see how three "Legal Shows" (2 1/2 new shows no less) can go head-to-head-to-head in the Wednesday 10pm timeslot. Someone is going to lose.

I have the 922 with 2 sat and 2 ota tuners. I have the DISH dtv pal plus dvr with 2 ota tuners. I also have distant networks from L.A. on my 922. So I am well covered for network tv series this fall. IF my 922 doesn't crap out due to buggy software. It is still not reliable on all recordings.

So I will record on my 922 during prime time, my ota ABC and ota FOX station and if I need it the CW on satellite. I will record through L.A. Distant nets, Cbs and NBC. I will also back up the CBS and NBC Stations through my dtv pal plus dvr for ota. So I hope not to miss any shows.

I also dropped Platinum pack and all premium movie channels. I subbed to Netflix for online content that can be downloaded to my computer and viewed on my 922. So far it works great and the pq is pretty good. I even get some in HD. I also have 97 hd movies recorded on my 922 from satellite. SO I am covered for movies this year. Come summer I will probably re add HBO for summer series tv ,like True Blood, Hung and Entourage. So I am saving about $35.00 a month on my dish bill my making these cuts.

This new fall season is going to really test my 922 for recordings. I have about 4 manual timers set up for two hour blocks on Fox ,Cbs and Abc for Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays. I also have about 60 timers set and that isn't including any new shows that will pop up during the season. I only wish I had my external hard drive archiving working so I could free up my receiver's hard drive for more series tv shows.

Checked out the pilot for Outlaw and will give it a few more shows, we actually liked it!

We liked it too. Will keep on watching for now.

Hawaii Five-O: I hate seeing the network portray a military man in uniform...who is not propery shaven. It makes me want to reach into the TV and slap the actor and the show's producer. Anyway, what does everyone think of the show?

I was nicely impressed tonight with The Event,, and just watched Hawaii Five-0 I liked the intro reminding me of the original version, in general I liked the action, I guess I´ll have to get used to the new McGarrett

Not bad. Some of the machismo was over-the-top (i.e., does every cop fight in public?), however if they tone it down a bit CBS may have a solid show on their hands. Offhand, it's woth and 2nd and 3rd look.

Hawaii Five-0 rocks imho...
