Don't buy a lifetime subscription, then. Tivo's monthly fee is probably on par with or lower than what your cableco charges for an HDDVR.Good idea, but the moment I buy a lifetime subscription, my cable company is sure to drop AMC![]()

I was watching a little bit of Dirty Harry on AMC earlier and they showed a Hopper commercial. Kind of odd if Dish is seriously gonna drop them, don't ya think?
Even if you don't necessarily feel you deserve the pay raise...

I know. I'm dreading it. But I'm hoping I can limp along until THIS wonderful device comes out.
Tivo's four tuner, top end unit doesn't support ota ATSC either. Usb tuner sticks still do a great job of recording ota in WMC though. And they're pretty cheap too!DOH! The interface looks like media center. Bet this thing is going to be $$$$$$ and STILL: "InfiniTV is designed for digital cable and does not support over-the-air ATSC broadcasts."Why is it Tivo is the only box that supports QAM + ATSC w/ internet content??????

Agreed but many here are not under a 2 year commitment and are faced with a few options. Jump to "D" and save some money over the next two years but give up a few HD channels that you may like. Stay and hope something good happens with the AMC deal. See what the local cable companies have to offer. As far as all the pages and all the post rehashing the same old complaint and we all know to no avail, venting has a cleansing of the soul effect. Usually it makes us feel better, the old getting it off your chest scenario.I know losing channels is a subject that each of us have strong emotions about, but after 33 pages and 303 postings, mine included, what more is there to be said about this issue? It in the hands of Charlie, and unless there's a way for us subscribers to really get his ear and make our issues known, we're just stuck. Other than going the "I'm jumping ship" routine, there's nothing we can do. And as much as I'm upset over losing AMC, I'm tied into a 2 year contract because of the Hopper, and even AMC isn't worth paying a $200.00 ETF. Directv is not for me because I'm not into sports, and Insight sucks. So as a consumer there's not a whole lot I can do.

Does the Tivo not have component inputs?Unfortunately, you cannot record HD from the Dish receiver to the TiVo but you can record the HD programming in SD and play it on your PC.
I was referring to the Premier. That's their main model now.We had the Tivo-HD (worst $250 spent) when we cut the cord a few years ago...We are currently looking into the Premiere...
*rubs crystal ball*
I see Directv in my future come Fall.
