I've got my old DVR 80 on eBay and someone asked a question....can he use the DVR with his cable system as well as DTV? I got rid of cable in favor of DTV so never entertained the idea. So, if his cable company has those cable cards that serve 2 tuners on one card...will it work? Thank you

Can someone tell me the reason for HR20's to have the 100,600,700 designations?

Thank you for that concise answer that actually answered the questions that i asked!! Now I'll find the thread that talks about re-booting to an external eSata drive. The supplied drive will be too small.

-multiswitch in basement with 2 lines coming to it from dish -2 lines from MS to room A for DVR -2 lines from MS to room B for DVR -i was told by D* that i only need 2 lines from the dish to the MS. are they mistaken?

But I can still record 2 live channels simultuneously right?

Groan. I was told by D* that the HD dish connects up to the 2 pairs of wires going to the existing dish and that it is a special, manufacturer specific, HD switch that is used to distribute the signal throughout.. I hope that this info is correct as this is a vacation home that I use one of my...

Thank you for your time... Right now I have a Series II DirecTivo. I don't know what a live buffer is..what is it? Also, can you differentiate for me the model numbers of the HD DVR's supplied by D* and the Tivo branded ones. I'm also wondering how the HD tuner would tell the Tivo DVR to...

So, let me make sure that I understand this correctly.... I cannot use just the 2 existing lines from the dish to feed the switch which will then feed 2 rooms with a pair of coax each. You're saying that I must run 2 additional lines from the dish to the switch to be able to use the...

I see. Still have a question.... I have 2 lines running down from my existing dish going into a switch which then feeds two rooms with a pair of coax to each. Does the built in switch need 2 more lines? If so, I'll get a new switch. Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much. This gave me the dish info that I need but did not have any info on the switch. I'm told that the existing switch will not suffice for HD.

I'm about to go High Def. I'd like to have some input as to the pros and cons in comparing the two units for use with D* Thank you

when we upgrade to High Def, could someone please identify the dish and multi-switch that will be used? Thank you

I plan to get 2 HR 20's. One for the bedroom, one for the den. I would like to watch content from either DVR on either display. I am not interested in MS Mediacenter as a solution. have 2 RG6 lines running from the switch to each display. I also have CAT 5 in both places. I can easily fish...

Huh? Hey, Thanks for your help.

Very good. Thank you.
