    DVR that's compatable with regular cable TV?

    Granted! Now to change it up on you, from the robot perspective: So why spend an extra $50-100 for a new unit, if you're only given the same mortality rate? I'll take the same risk for less money, thanks. Your other point is perfect; there's something about being the first person to power...

    DVR that's compatable with regular cable TV?

    Well, that's something that has to be reconciled; everybody pays, it's just a matter of when and how much. Moxi buyers don't get to choose; they pay for it all, right now. TiVo buyers get some choice; they can pay for it all right now, or they can pay for it in big chunks, or they can pay...

    DVR that's compatable with regular cable TV?

    I'm not a fan of lifetime; I prefer annual until things settle down again. $300 for the first year and $99 a year after that is a bit easier to swallow than $550 up front. You can get a refurb TiVo HD for $200 from tivo.com and a lifetime subscription card for about $350 on eBaY; that's...

If you're in a Comcast or Time Warner neighborhood, and CableCard is an option, there's...

    16:9 Broadcast on a SD Signal on a 16:9 TV

    If you get a high def box like a 622 or 211 with a tuner, you can watch the unmolested feed. It's hard to say if it's Dish or your affiliate who's chopping the image, but an SD reciever is only getting that one image from the satellite.

    TWC ~vs~ DISH

    In KC, TWC has about half of the HD content that Dish has. Comcast charges about 30% more money per month for the same channels that you can get in a Dish Classic package. If you don't have a hi-def TV, that really doesn't matter. Are you eligible for ATT U-Verse or Verizon FiOS? I'd...

    BBC America is Lame

    Let's say that I am a resident and do have a current account. Are you saying that it's technically possible without resorting to IP-based solutions? Does a bird over North America repeat the signal(s)? I know the rules on this forum, and I'm not asking to break laws or contracts, or even...

    BBC America is Lame

    Is there a legal way to get the real BBCs in the US, maybe nearly real-time? Even if it requires PAL or SECAM satellite equipment, can it be done?
