Not necessarily. You can absolutely do that with DirecTV. It's called "stacking and destacking". It's expensive, though. stacker/destacker combos can run about $300. However, the new receivers are supposedly going to be able to destack signals internally, so you can do exactly what you are...

No. It's not going to have an analog tuner. The antenna in is the same as it is for any other receiver. --Just a pass through so that if you have your unit hooked up via coax, when you turn the unit off (standby), it will pass the antenna signal through. You will not be able to record it...

Nope. I was stupid when I posted this. I need to learn how to read (EDITED) Ricky

No. No, absolutely you will not. Some anti-anything-that-isn't-a-TiVo people came up with this ridiculous "news" out of thin air, after hearing how the new boxes are going to offer video on demand by pre-recording movies and letting you pay to watch them later. So, as so often happens, this...

Hmmm. Cable? NEVER!!! Sure, you could get the "triple threat" package from TW. But it would be a bad deal. Why? Because you can keep your Dish, buy Time Warner cable internet THROUGH EARTHLINK for $41.95, and unlimited Vonage for $25 a month. You'd be paying more for both those services...

No. No, 30-sec. skip was on other DVRs before UltimateTV. ReplayTV has always had it. And there were others. E* DVRs still have it. There is no patent issue with 30-sec. skip. Just a legal one (people suing to try to make us watch commercials). And the R15 is most definitely not a BskyB...

Got it. Cool. But you said something about being able to answer specific questions. There have been some specific questions asked. Ricky

Well, according to a thread here or on TivoCommunity, someone in Tulsa was claiming there were a bunch of R15 units sitting around hooked up to "Sammy HDs" for them to "play with." So, that sounds a little diff. Ricky

So let's hear it! OK, so it's Monday. Everyone should be back to work now, including you guys who supposedly have some R15s to play with. So let's hear what ya got! I think a definitive answer on the "watch something while you record two things" would be the first order of business. While...
