oh come on, we all know fewer options and less competition always results in lower prices for the consumer...:o

yesterday i had 5 options for a pay tv provider, now i will be down to 4, and i'm supposed to believe this is a good thing? they stopped the cell phone merger, and i hope like hell they stop this one and the comcast/time warner merger. fewer options is never good for the consumer, we will all be...

as always, fewer choices for the consumer is never a good thing. directv is big enough that a buyout is not needed to be competitive, and this will only result in less options and higher fess for the customer, imo i just really hope they keep some D* customer service in the US, if they...

i love my am21, without it i wouldn't get METV or retroTV. still want antennaTV, and i really, really hope D* adds that quad channel that is coming out with 60's,70's 80's and 90's channels. i alos like getting toledo locals since i am closer to them than detroit

no thanks, i want control over my recordings, not the provider. as soon as the cloud comes the internal HD will go away. charter already told me of their plans to do this.

bummer, i love my 34, hope it lasts. i agree about the clients, i try and advise everyone i know to get all dvrs and no clients.

my hr34 works great, no issues at all

i don't know what you're talking about

i hope D* gets them, i love the retro networks and shows SO MUCH more than the new stuff.

I'll admit i did not watch TWC a lot, but living in MI (we consider it the midwest) I can say it wasn't midwest centric, we could hardly get any info on weather here from TWC. I will agree about them being very east coast centric, but it seems everyone is. it's all about the East Coast and LA...

why not just call back and tell them it won't power on?

You're assuming the person will be upset if it crashes, and that isn't always the case. Let me give an example- I have 2 small kids, I have all the episodes to "scooby doo, where are" you & "a pup named scooby doo" stored on their DVR. This allows me to play any episode of those shows whenever...

If they didn't intend for you to use it as a storage device, why would they include a 1TB drive? That seems a little much for some simple "time shifting". Calling people foolish for using a product differently than you do seems a silly.

like this:rant: lol

oh yeah, i've got a 2 TB external drive on one dvr, a 1TB internal on another, and and another hd-dvr, none have over 10% free
