    You CAN get NFL Redzone without Sunday Ticket

    I have been a DirecTV customer for just 15 months but I decided to give them a call and discuss what I see as nothing more than a sales tactic of not allowing the Redzone to be purchased without Sunday Ticket. The first and most important thing to note is that you get more bees with honey than...

    Anyone else running HR24 and Onkyo 707?

    Reading a lot of issues with this particular receiver not playing nice with the HR24s. It is IMO the best receiver in my sub $600 price range but if it cannot live with the HR 24 then I need to know before I buy it :) Thanks.

    Preface: I am doing this little writeup to capture my personal experiences with both Dish and Direct and am doing so for information and entertainment purposes only. Dish loyalists and Direct loyalists are not about to be swayed by my simple observations and that is really not the point. It...

    No Way DTV is Missing this Feature... Right?

    Netflix and the like to replace Sat/Cab?

    Might be taboo to say and we are NOT there yet, but is anyone else thinking that in the next 12-24 months it might be a better value and maybe even a better experience to dump any sat or cable provider and instead rely solely on the combination of existing and future free/low cost media...

    No PIP for D*?

    I signed up for D* last week and have an install scheduled for this Friday. While I am pretty psyched for my new setup and the fact that D* can accommodate my install needs where E* could not, I was a little surprised to see my friends D* HR24 (which is very nice otherwise) could not provide...

    How Does DTV Handle HD in a Whole Home Setup?

    I have not yet had my install (July 9) but am wondering, from a technical perspective, how the whole home DVR setup handles 1080p across all boxes. So in my setup for example, I will have two HR-24 DVRs and 3 additional HD receivers. The CSR was very clear that any of these rooms would be able...

    Please Share Your Setup for DVR Expansion

    I am all set for my DTV 5 HD install in early July and was curious what solutions/setup some of you might use for expanded DVR capacity? I assume there is a way I can utilize a USB external drive on each of my two HR-24's to add 2TB of data per DVR but am concerned there are some built in...
