Thanks for the respones. How about a follow on question? You guys bring up interesting points regarding the DVR. Let's say I have a DVR and I want it in my living room and I hypothetically I only have one cable drop there. Why can't I split the cable there into the DVR? I know, basic...

Hey guys, I just purchased a brand new house that still needs to be built. They're going to prewire the house with RG6 and I'm gonna have a computer network installed with RJ45 jacks in most rooms. My question is, can the satellite feed be fed into my existing cable lines? Or will I have...

I got it for $299 at http://www.valueelectronics.com

I don't know what the best HD receiver for DVI is but the new RCA DTC210 has DVI. Don't think there's any reviews for it anywhere though. I just ordered it, hope it works well.

Exactly what I thought. Thanks guys. Any recommendations on where to get DirecTV?

I just called Expert Satellite to sign up for DirecTV and I said I wanted an HD receiver and a TIVO receiver. The salesman told me I could not have the HD receiver and the TIVO receiver going into the same TV. Why? That makes absolutely 0 sense to me. I want a TIVO receiver and an HD...

ok cool, thanks for all of your responses. I feel pretty confident that an installer will be able to perform the install without having to drill holes. I will go ahead and order directv, sweet.

I have an issue that I was hoping you guys could help me with. I want to switch to DirecTV however, my apt complex will not allow me to have the installation guy/girl drill a hole in any walls to bring the feed in. Will the installer have to drill a hole? Isn't there some central box outside...

"We've been saying for a long time that when we weren't capacity-constrained, people were going to see a rollout of HD, and I think you can say that this is the first step in that direction," she said. I guess that's a very promising quote as far as more HD content is concerned? Thanks for...

That's probably really annoying to have 2 receivers going into one Tv. So anytime you want to watch HD switch to another input, and anytime you want to watch something "tivo'd" you have to switch to the Tivo receiver. Hmmm, interesting, probably stupid too.

Newbie here, sorry for the pathetic question(s). I would like to get DirecTV, I guess that's step one right? Next, I would like TIVO and HD. I don't really care about the HD TIVO, just want to be able to record shows. - So I'm assuming I can have a TIVO receiver to record shows, and the...
