    Thinking about switching to DirecTV

    Thanks for the extra input. It is just the wife and I... and at most we may record 2 programs at once on one or two nights a week for an hour to two, but it is rare because we don't record too terribly much... maybe 7-8 shows a week. I would not anticipate any issues there and I like the idea...

    Thinking about switching to DirecTV

    I am not sure I follow... you are not able to connect to the DVR? From your phone or computer? I read where the program guide on DTV is only 1.5 hours. I really like the fact Dish is 3 hours, but I figure there may be a few trade offs.

    Thinking about switching to DirecTV

    We were with DTV for years, then switched to Dish when they got our locals and DTV did not offer them. DTV finally got locals in our market (negotiated the last network this past May) and we are no longer under contract with Dish. So we are thinking about changing and I want to make sure my...

    FS: 5 Directv Receivers / Multi-switch

    I think only the RCA and the HTL will do OTA... I never tried with the HD TIVO unit, but it may too. I believe the RCA is DVI, the HD Tivo is HDMI, and the HTL I can't remember if it's HDMI or DVI... all have component. They are all boxed up and ready to ship, but I'm sure you could search the...

    Rca Dtc210 Hd Stb...

    I have one too but haven't connected it yet. I hope to get around to it tomorrow. Got mine from Value Electronics. Is the stretch mode a good stretch like the panorama on the HTL-HD or is it a full stretch?

    Tivo and HD separate receivers on same TV

    That's exactly what I have. HTL-HD via component and SD Tivo via s-video to the same RPTV. I can have 3 or 4 or even 5 connected to it if I wanted to. I can do 2 components, 1 DVI, and 2 s-video... as well as all the composite inputs as well. I think the salesman is confused.
