From what I saw when the Verizon tech came, it is fiber right to the ONT on the outside of my garage. Then converted to COAX for distribution inside the house.. I have the basic 25/25 service & it is, indeed, wonderful.

I had not thought of Tivo. May have to give that a look.

This is in Riverview so Hillsborough County.

mdavej, I want the superior equipment. I had Comcast when I lived in Atlanta & have cable cards myself. It was integrated into a fairly robust WIN7 Media system (with 13.5T of network storage). As a nerdy bachelor in a two client apartment (one dedicated Home Theater PC & one XBOX-360) this...

WOOHOOO, after almost 7 years in the (cable) desert, I'm coming back home to D*. House is in the Tampa Bay suburbs. I want FiOS internet & D* for whole-home HD TV service. Is this going to work right out of the box or am I gonna have to get some custom (read segregated) wiring to get this...

Hmm I see that Atlanta is not on that list, but last evening at a Best Buy in McDonough, GA a young (D* rep?) told me not once, but 3 times (becuase I kept asking) that the special he was pushing included a "base station (his words) that could record up to 5 separate shows at the same time &...

Thanks for the qujick replies.

Hello, a friend of my recently got a new house built & decided to use Dish as this was (they felt) the best deal at that time. She has 5 HDTV's & would like HDTV service at EACH location. As far as I can tell, this is what was told to Dish at time of order. What they got was on 722 & 2 other...

I'm going to be doing the same thing. Been in the Comcast wilderness for almost 3.5 years. I can almsot taste that sweet, sweet, D* goodness now. :D wow, it's been a while since I posted here. Need to change my sig....

It is happening to me right now. One of my 2 HR20-700's won't do anything but turn off! :) I don't know how I am going to opt out of MRV because I can not get ANYTHING TO COME UP ON THE SCREEN. :( The other HR20-700 is just fine & MRV playing still works fine from content on my...

That was the second video I ever saw, when the cable company turned MTV on. The first video was We're the Kids in America. This was fall of 80 I believe.

Hmmm, since I am at work & this is the first I am hearing of this, I think I will just schedule a recording. That ought to do the trick of updating, eh :up *Edit Well I chickened out after I read some more responses in this thread. I reauthorized both of my HR20-700's & then set my Bedroom...

Thank you dfergie. Been looking for some pics all morning. I can't wait to get home tonight.

This has been released to a select few CE'rs for a while now. It is generally viewed as the precursor to MRV <---- D* NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL & GET MRV OUT THE DOOR NOW!!!!!!!! as well as some new HD Channels :)

Ok I have been listening to you guys for several months now. I have always found you guys to be well reserved & never ones to go for hyperbole of any type. I must say I was a little chagrined when I heard the emphasis that you used in describing D's 1080p as being as good as Blu ray. I will...
