    REplacement for SD Tivo

    I have a genie (with 2 minis), a HD tivo, and, on its own dish, a SD Tivo. The latter is developing problems. If I ask direct to replace it what will I get? I do have the what ever you call it fix it plan I pay for each month. Note: the 2 tivos above were a "wife" requirement - she hates the...

    Error 771 on tivo only

    I have a genie with 2 babies and a tivo, all on the same dish/switch. This morning I got a 771 error on the tivo only. The genie is operating fine.

    My wife hates the replacement SD DVR we got when one of our old tivos bit the dust, hates it to the point that she refuses to talk about a genie if it operates the same. Does the genie use similar?

    long timer - update to HD-tivos deal..

    I have been with directv since the beginning, I want to upgrade to HD (I am currently SD) with 2 HD tivos, I'm offered one "free" - what kind of deal has anyone got on a second one? Is it true that "broken" HD tivos are being replaced with "directv-HD" units? I have lifetime DVR, what fees...
