I live in the NY metro area and was thinking of getting the hdtivo and an ota antenna. Then I thought to myself, if I am going to get the major networks in HD from directv (sub to locals), then what extra am I going to get from OTA? Anyone in the NY area get anything additonal that they think...

No, I don't have the warranty coverage, so I will have to eat that one. What is really odd though is that I do get the 110 and 119 channels. I have SD Tivos right now and when I go to the check sat signal menu and scroll through all of the transponders on the A, B and C sats they all have a...

that's what i thought Will only the OTA not work? I didn't think it would work at all, but last night my 4x8 went out and I was without tv, so i hooked two of the lines up to my 3x4 and all four of those lines worked fine?? This is why I asked. PS - thanks for the welcome.....Great Forum

Hello, I was wondering if the following scenario is possible. Have two of the lines from my phase III dish and one from OTA going into a 3x8 multiswitch and then the other two from the phase III going into another 3x8 and then have 16 lines. these lines would then run into the four tuners...

Hello, I was looking to get one of the above receivers and wanted to know what additional features/benefits the hd300 has over the hd200 other than rf remote capabilities? Thanks, T

Thanks for all the input. I just wanted to point out that the most important thing to me is the stability of the boxes and the ease of use for the PVR, not the different channels offered by each, as neither one has any channels that are must have for me (except maybe YES with direct). I am...

True...maybe I did jump to soon. The reason I posted this however was because of all the negative I was hearing and when I saw this that is the way I leaned. You are right though I should let those Dish subs respond. Those who do prefer their PVR's over dtivo please let me know the advantages...

Tvlman, when I read your analogy it really doesn't make sense. You are calling the receiver from Dish a BMW, but the install or cosmetics may not be the best, and to not judge on those. I think you almost made my point however....as I don't care about install or look of the box, but in fact...

Thanks fellas....that confirms what I was thinking....guess i will cancel the install. I especially don't want to hear about all of the downfalls pointed out from the wife!!

I am contemplating switching from my DTIVO's over to two 510's and an 811 from Dish. Is there anyone out there that loves there Dish and would not go back to DirecTV and the reasons for this. I have seen many people state the other way around about loving DirecTV over dish, but not the other...

Hey guys, kinda new here, just found this site....and it's great. I have two DTIVO's that i am looking to sell or trade for dishnetwork stuff. One is a rca dvr39 and one is a dsr7000. Both are modified with version 3.1b software. I have many references if needed. Please pm me any offers...
