Ok...I'll keep that all in mind. I did a quick Ebay check.....will see what those Roamios are going for. And Minis too....so with your setup, you don't need cards? Seemed cable tv used to be so simple:)

Not sure how you quote here now.....mdavej.....I'd love to hear more about how you do that...what exact TIVO equipment....can you PM me? I do also know I read where you can have issues, with the cable techs, as they won't know anything about the cards.

Thanks for all the replies. I tried to select email notification of replies, but didn't get any.....didn't think I had any replies yet! Just checked and yowza. Anyhow, Tampa 8......as I stated in my initial post, I finally got fed up due to the huge increase in extra box fees. Just like...

I had Dish for years. Finally bailed due to their excessive extra box fees(722s, I think). But, I hate Charter(already knew I did and would), more. I know that even though they had the glorious Hopper, years ago, when I set up service at our new house, I opted for regular receivers. I...

I've Googled this, and get zippo.....not even sure how I'd search for it here...but I've noticed for a long time, when I delete recordings....I admit only HD, as that's the portion of the DVR that's seemingly always strapped for space.....I get maybe 2/3 space returned....maybe less. In other...

Did the Hopper change, in the last year or two? I read of all sorts of unhappy customers, because they'd set one TV to DVR, but then realized, they couldn't watch two shows now, like you used to with dual tuner boxes. So, let's say we have 4 people watching TV on 4 different TVs, and if you...

My toughts are I just might keep with the 722(oops, that's what I meant). Maybe have two 722s, and one non DVR dual tuner. Although,I despised Dish when they jacked up their additional box rates, way back when. Is it still $14 for a dual tuner box fee? Outrageous. But, still might have to...

Well, drats.....and that's way more than I want to spend on cable, for that many tvs.....a lot of stuff the Hopper gives I could care less about, other than the HD. Wondering if the old 3 box set up might be more to our liking.

So, I would need to keep service in my name, then? Or, I have no chance to keep my DVR content? Maybe I'll have to chat or call them, and say I want to keep them, but my bill is too high, so I'm considering other options:) I know it works for others.

Forgive if this is a question long ago answered. But, moving, and I'm thinking putting the Dish service in my fiance's name at the new house would net us a better deal....rather than the Dish Moving service.....don't like the amount I'm paying these days. However, I certainly would like to...

Yeah, kind of wondered, as I think that's what ended up happening for me. Somehow I bought it, and ended up not needing it. I suppose I could throw it on Ebay and undercut all the others:) Just in case someone's looking. Unless someone here wants it cheap.

Been so long now, can't remember why I stupidly bought this off Ebay, but I never used it(it's stuck somewhere in my vague memory from like 6 years ago). Moved, and it got hidden away in a box. Have a SW 44, Inverter and another box looks like power supply, etc. Never taken out of boxes, let...

I've only tried this twice, when on vacations....last year, and again this last weekend. Both times, it hangs up forever, when loading my box/DVR. I just give up, after like a half hour of this. So, basically, it's useless to me. I see others loving it, so wondered, what the heck?

Glad I found this thread....I'm in MI also.....don't think I have the OP's problem, but have been mystified at times, like today, when the Marlins/Phillies game was coming on....wanted to watch that on MLB channel, and suddenly, blackout. WTH? MI is nowhere near Philly!!! I see now the...

Not to mention, I'm paying way too much for high speed net, now, also, and can get a reasonable bundle offer with Charter. I can't get a good DSL signal in my area, for some odd reason, so am stuck with either Uverse, which I'm using, or Charter. So, that's a big factor, too. I don't care...
