I do not pay with or have a CC, it is a debit card and there is not a company on the planet that I trust with a blanket authorization on my checking account. Those HR20's were terrible.

OK, I must admit that with all the griping about how inferior my ViP622 is to a TiVo, it has managed to record all but one of my programs in the last 6 months. I must also admit the picture quality is better with E* than it was with D*. I called E* today to change my programming package from the...

Yeah I saw that too at work, but at home I am Windows-free (and proud to be) and so IE X.x is not in my future. Also like Rky Mtn said, it works everywhere else ;) Now that I sound like a nag, the PDA access rocks Soctt!

Hiya all, I noticed that when I bookmark the sites main page to my Firefox Bookmarks tool bar that no icon appears like with other web portals. It would be nice to have that little dish on there. Thanks

Thanks Tony, now I am informed rather than curious. :) I had heard at one point that 129 was rogue (not positioned correctly) and that they kept thrusting it into place. Is this still the case or is this bird calm now?

Question for ya, albeit a stupid one, but I'd like to know. It appears that the satellites at 61.5 and 129 mirror each other. With the dish1000, like I have, what it the point of the 61.5 bird?

Here, here! I love my Linux sooooooo much. It is nice to be productive and not need to chase the "functional" PC!

I am not sure if this just got archived off, but I searched the thread topic and did not see it. Would somebody kindly post the DirecTV Customer Retention Phone Number? I have a friend in need of it. Thank you.

I understand the variance in bus speeds, but that is not representative of actual bandwidth and I am just saying for a DVR, it would be fine, it would also be fine as an add on to any PC. Obviously you are a power-user and know what you are saying, I am agree with you, but unless you are...

4.01 has not been spooled (aka nobody has it) but the beta group from here that signed up before 7EDT this morning.

In my experience USB 2.0 is not slower than the ATA-133 bus or humanly noticeable unless you have SATA 3.0Gbps ;) They are pretty quick. However, for my purpose E* did not put an eSATA port on the 622 so it is what ya get ya got.

I hope "deal sharing" is not a rule violation :) I just picked up one of these for my 622 for WHEN 4.01 spools. What a STEAL!

90 Shilling, rich & satisfying.

Pulp Fiction, I quit counting somewhere around 63 viewings. The Bonnie Situation has been watched well over 200 times ... Yes you did Brad ... :)

Good morning all, I recently put my 622 in the closet and have been using remote 2 to control TV1 in single mode. Now I have back-hauled the RF tuner to my cable system so that I can use TV2 in the basement or guest room. However, as you may guess I need two RF remotes now. I read somewhere...
