Wait for bad weather to shut it down, then pull the coax.

I didn't know they had one. I do remember in the 80s when if someone asked what was on that thing you could toss a guide nearly an inch thick at them

The theaters are desperate for content, so maybe some of this can make its way to the cineplex to run alongside comics movies, vampires, zombies, godflix and gorefests.

I was surprised when they allowed DVR at all on a non-HDD rx.

I've never heard of anyone wanting to switch from Macs to Macrosoft

Maybe a ph. line as well, like in The Twilight Zone...?

Not exactly, as that would imply a unitary rx/HDD. To further the point, does connecting EHD to a 222 make for dual HD recording? Regardless, yes, there are definite constraints as far as using a 211- adding the EHD makes it DVR-capable, but only a single channel may be tuned at any time, either...

Wasn't the purpose of EHDs to add holding capacity, back-up & preserve recordings on a long scale such that if the rx goes kaput you don't lose them? Have there been any known system-initiated deletions of recordings from rx/dvr units (such as hopper and ViP)? Other than for the HD being filled up?

You could have a granite dish, perpetually aimed between 110 and 119.

Can you still order HBO / Cinemax and Showtime / The Movie Channel?

Sports TV is under enough pressure now as it is without subsidizing a gambling industry.

DiSH likely wants to keep an eye on them (and your tv use) at all times

I meant between hopper and joeys

You still need a wired connection back to hopper, right? Saturn went out of business, evidently along with its marketing model. I remember when states were bidding against each other to get saturn for a big economic and jobs boost. Anything still happening at the saturn plant? Illinois lost out...

So they're entirely linear services mirroring cable?
