George, FWIW, the article makes sense to me. FYI - I am not invested in either side, but would like to see the war come to an end. Jim

Have you ever seen how SD looks on an HDTV before, much less on a projector? Why don't you want a DVR? I have NEVER met someone who regretted getting a DVR. Sign up for the 2 year commitment and get a cheap/free HD DVR. If you end up backing out of it, then deal with that then. OTherwise don't...

I am pretty sure the process for sending in your faulty system goes as follows: You receive the shipping box (aka "coffin") from them and if you are in the U.S. you ship your system via UPS three day to McAllen, TX, which is right on the border with Mexico. All they do in McAllen is make a...

Mine has worked fine. Do you use Windows Media Center or the regular way to access your PC? I have tested mine both ways and they both work. Some of the avi files didn't play well because they must be encoded the wrong way or something, but overall it has been good. Good luck with your new...

Good news, but unfortunately the .avi files won't be playable through media center. Still a good feature, but less useful than I had hoped. Jim

I think you are referring to "Gamertags." More info here Xbox Live - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jim

This week the Falcons vs. Panthers is the only one not in HD and they are upconverting it on the Red Zone HD channel. I think this confirms that it is a CBS vs Fox issue as to whether it is upconverted on the Red Zone HD channel. Fox games get upconverted but CBS games do not. Jim

This week the Bengals vs. Bills is the only one not in HD and they are not upconverting it on the Red Zone HD channel. This may be a CBS vs. Fox issue as to whether it is upconverted on the Red Zone HD channel. Jim

Are you talking about the TN game from this past week? It was in HD on channel 719 for me. DIRECTV - NFL SUNDAY TICKET Schedule Jim

I always feel bad for the Browns fans because someone clearly has it out for them. They always get hosed on the HD. But then again, as a Bengals fan, I won't be too upset. :) Jim

I understand what you are saying, but some games are not recorded in HD each week. This will change next year. The confusion comes in when you see the standard def games on the HD red zone channel. For example yesterday the ATL vs. NO game was not in HD, but took up the whole screen when...

I had the same issue. Not sure what the problem was. Jim

Were you using the latest firmware with the HR10-250? I agree that the slowness before the 6.3 firmware upgrade was terrible, but I have been very pleased with it since then. Jim

Glad you are happy with it, but maybe you moved to soon :) http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-dvr-forum/105963-return-tivo-directv.html

Yes, I realize that this is certainly just rumor material at the moment. That said, I actually think that this will happen. D*'s recent announcements regarding ongoing support for the TiVo platform and this blog entry are certainly encouraging. Wild rumor: DirecTV reps claiming TiVo coming to...
