Only 28 days. That sucks. Guess I will stick with my current setup.

I currently have 2 h24s hooked up to a HTPC running Sagetv. I am looking at switching to a directv DVR, but am worried about loosing one feature of Sage. It keeps a list of all shows that I have ever watched and will not record one of those shows again. I watch a lot of reruns, but don't want to...

Wtf is an edge cutter?

I couldnt figure out how to just add to my previous post with the iPhone app so sorry about the second post. If you are looking at OTA only, a HTPC is definitely the way to go. I even use my HTPC for D* connected to 2 H24s for dual tuner capability. This gives me much more capabilities than...

There are big time rumors going around that AMC HD will be added right after Labor Day.

Actually, it can hurt to try in this case. In order to get his wife to try, he will have to cancel service first, losing his grandfathered NFLST only package, which he won't be able to get back.

I know the aaa and refer can be combined. Call and set up using the aaa number. Then call back on the refer number and tell them you forgot to tell them that your friend revered you (you will need their account number). Not sure about the others. If you don't have aaa yet and are thinking about...

True, but the resolution sucks. Sent from my iPad using SatelliteGuys
