    The CW

    From my understanding, digital affiliates don't count due the number of people capable of redeiving them... and DirecTV can still give you access to a "regional" CW affiliate. ~Alan

    Rupert Murdoch looking to sell DirecTV?

    They agreed to continue supporting the current TiVos out there, as well as allowing customers to activate other TiVo boxes (currently deactivated units, EBay purchases, etc..), but HD-TiVo users will be out of luck for new programming from DirecTV since it will be MPEG2 only. The poster above...

    E/W network feeds

    I know that DirecTV doesn't offer the opposite coast HD-DNS, but they don't offer West coast SD-DNS to East coast folks (I know West coast folks can't get East) anymore, either?! ~Alan

    Weighing A Potential EchoStar-DirecTV Merger

    I do too, which is ironic since I'm one of the rural Americans mentioned whose only "legal" choice of TV provider would become either DirecTV, FTA, or an antenna. ~Alan

    DirecTV, Stand-Alone TiVo And KA

    Basically, mine is a very simple setup. I have a Phase III dish going into a 5x8 multi-switch powering one HD-TiVo, two SD DirecTiVos, and an older DirecTV receiver (that's not currently activated). I also have an antenna going on a seperate line to my HD-TiVo. However, I want to feed an...

    DirecTV, Stand-Alone TiVo And KA

    What kind of splitter would that be? Power splitter, or just a regular run-of-the-mill splitter? Will I need to buy anything else to go in the room with the stand-alone TiVo?! I'm going to town tomorrow to get some added supplies, so I need to know what I need to get. Also, can you...

    DirecTV, Stand-Alone TiVo And KA

    Since I've been tired of hoping that DirecTV would offer SD-LIL here, and wanting the ability to DVR NBC, FOX & The CW (come Fall) programming in SD (I have CBS and ABC via DNS), I took advantage of Circuit City's free Stand-Alone TiVo (after rebates)... but now I need to figure out how to hook...

    E3 Playstation 3 NEWS!

    The only reason I would use a PS3 for Blu-Ray discs is because the cheapest stand-alone player is twice the price of the PS3. Other than that, I have NEVER once used my (regular) XBox as a DVD player (not when DVD players are so cheap)... but as long as the PS3 is cheaper than a stand-alone...
