    HR10-250 HD TiVo?

    I am in an area that cannot get OTA HD transmissions. The 811 had awful SD PQ, but very good HDTV especially thru DVI. but I only got 1 HD channel. I have to wait 3 more months until my year subscription with Dish runs out, then it's hello Direct TV Tivo HD!

    HR10-250 HD TiVo?

    Is it worth $999? How is the HDTV on Tivo? How well does this unit work. I have the Dish 811 with a Toshiba 51HX83 HDTV, and I'm sick of the 811's poor SD PQ.

    811 PQ Problems ... Still!

    I have had the 811 since 12-03. Still bad SD PQ even with all the updates. I have a Toshiba 51HX83 with DVI. The DVI looks a bit better than the S-video, but the PQ is still dark, grainy, pixilated. Especially with any live shows. Unwatchable. But HDTV looks great through DVI at 1080i...
