I guess that's one of the advantage of comcast - they don't charge you return their equipment if you cancel (or if you need to change out the DVR). I do not look forward to the day that I cancel directv (if I ever do).

Many are waiting for the day Dish makes tv2 HD But if i switch to tv1 or tv2 on the dowstairs HDTV set, they both come in in high def format.

I have the 722 downstairs hooked up to my hdtv. Upstairs is a regular tv. A coaxial comes out of the wall into that tv. I want to replace that with an hdtv. The person at dish said I would need a new, spearate DVR upstairs to get high def. IS thius true? I guess it makes sense since there...

connect s video out on DVR to s video in on DVR recorder. Connect audio out on DVR to audio in on dvd recorder. That takes care of the recording part. Then: connect component/or HDMI/ or regular video (yellow) OUT on the DVD recorder to the TV. Lastly, connect audio out on dvd recorder to...

Thanks for the replies. I want to record football games to save, not movies (can always just rent them on netflix). I also may want to record curb your enthusiasm and other random things like that. My question: does anyone know if football has a broadcast flag to prevent me from recording...

Thanks for the replies. I want to record football games to save, not movies (can always just rent them on netflix) 0 does anyone know if football has a broadcast flag to prevent me from recording on the DVD? Also, what DVD recorder do you all recommend (i.e. one that works with the 722...

It is fairly stupid to have so many sub forums. Sometimes I will leave a questions and no one will answer so I will dump the question in another forum and get an answer. This illustrates that there are too many forums that overlap. Why not merge the forums so we don't have to keep repeating...

I put this in technical, but think it should go here: I have a few questions before buying a DVD recorder to use with the 722. I want to put things I recorded onto a DVD so I can free up space. 1st, what happens if the program is longer than what the DVD can hold? i.e. can a 3 hour football...

I have a few questions about the getting a DVD recorder to use with the 722. I want to put things I recorded onto a DVD so I can free up space. 1st, what happens if the program is longer than what the DVD can hold? i.e. can a 3 hour football game fit? I heard DVD's for consumer burning holds...

No. Actually a football game is scheduled for 3 hours. The dish's default is actually set to record for an hour over so that's 4 hours. Instead, it stopped after 2 hours because two subsequent recordings were set and I guess dish gave them higher priority (without telling me).

Boy do I miss Tivo! I was recroding a foorball game lets say it starts at 1 pm. Then I saw at 3 pm something on the guide so i hit record and also recorded something else. The point, is that the DVR does not warn you that the 1pm program will be clipped. It just does it, based on a priority...

I have HBO listed on both of the above channels and both in HD. Is there a difference between those lower channels and the ones in the 9000's (because I get both).

Wow I can't believe some people with DISH don't get locals in HD! Who would ever get dish if they can't get local HD?? (assuming you have HDTV of course). I also cannot understand why dish would not offer this in some markets (and direct tv would). This sounds like almost as stupid of a...

I get NBC, CBS FOX and ABC in HD on Dish. Aren't those local?

I read in this forum somewhere that TV2 (second tuner) only does 480. I am sure this must not be correct but I wanted to ask here: I have the 722. I can record two HD programs simultaneously and the playback will be HD right? Even though one of them has the TV2 icon next to it?
