I have a simple set up, one DVR in the family room and the new one in the bedroom. It can probably do all that I need it to do, was just expecting the latest shiny box. Just trying to gauge proper expectations and it sounds like it isn't that big of a deal. Thanks guys!

Hey Gang, I called up and ordered an additional HD-DVR on Friday and was excited to see a box in the doorway when I got home. I was a little bit taken aback and confused when I was sent a HR21-100. I was expecting something newer than that. I did get a $100 credit off the order (paying...

Versus - HD

I was going to get back on the CE since it was a release candidate but fell asleep. :-)

Jimbo Thanks for the info!

Agreed I think that is the toughest thing (for me) about this price increase. As a consumer, they took value away from me (Versus) and are now going to charge me more for it. Sucks

My picture seems to stutter for a quick moment when watching live and recorded programs. A restart of the receiver seems to solve the problem. Seems like this may be the beginning sign of a failing receiver. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I am actually thinking of moving to Dish partly based on this Versus issue. I think they did a really nice job during the NHL Playoffs and I was really looking forward to catching more hockey this year. I have had some other issues with DirecTV this year, so this is more of an annoying issue...

Merry Christmas

Maybe it's me, but the initial "Best of XM" offering doesn't excite me. I do like XM, but nothing I like about it (music channels) are included. I will be interested to see where this goes. MLB would have sweetened the offer a bit, but I assume they have time to work that out before next...

Sean is absolutely right, there is no investment in the team. While they have some good young players, there is no commitment to bringing in free agents at all. The starting pitching has one good guy and the bullpen is horrible. Both ranked last in ERA in the majors. I think it absolutely...

Ran out of Component inputs on my tv so it was good justification to look for a new receiver. I was looking at the Sony DG-710 which was around $220.00 on Amazon last week. Decided I couldn't wait for it to ship, so I was gonna buy it at Circuit City for $250, but the customer service was so...

Just keep in mind that both companies are driven by one thing, subscribers. I highly doubt that the subscribers will be alienated with the merge. Remember, both Sirius/MS are competing against a free service that has been present for decades. I am fairly sure that they already realize this...

Excellent Job!!! Williams batted against Kaat the final day of the 1959 season and had two hits against him. Kaat walked Franco in 1982 when Julio was a rookie. In other words, there still is an active player who faced a guy who faced Ted. Is that a great bit of trivia or what?

Q: If Ted Williams were still alive, he could walk up to an active player and say, "I got two hits off that guy one game. How did you do when you faced him?'' To which active player would he be talking and to which pitcher would he be referring?
