    Questions about DirecTV and HDTV

    Yeah... they should install what you have and have the parts to add... if anything is needed. Just as an fyi... 5x8 means you have 5 inputs (4 - from satellite and 1 - air) and 8 outputs to receivers. Good luck with yours!!!

    Oh you know I will... and I am expecting it. But it will keep the wife happy having the TiVO in the livingroom so it will be worth it. :D :D

    Questions about DirecTV and HDTV

    Ronnie- Have you gotten this setup to work? If so, that is AWESOME! I would have 2 lines into my Tivo (for the 2 receivers), 1 to the HD Receiver, and 1 to the upstairs bedroom.

    Questions about DirecTV and HDTV

    Rick: I am planning on doing... almost exactly... what you have posted. The only difference (and I hope this works) is to run a new line off my multiswitch to my new HD receiver. My TiVO will stay put... I will connect the TiVO into either Video 2 or 3 of my HD Monitor. Hopefully... I...
