    New DirecTV Fall Promotions

    pc tuner cards

    It may just be wishful thinking on my part but is a tuner card for your PC an option any time soon. D* could sell the card and necessary software and you could then build your own dvr or multi-room video pc. It would likely be a niche market for tech geeks but it would seem like it would be a...

    samsung led dlp tv

    How long have you had that tv? The only other real question i had about it was the viewing angle, the tv would be going in my living room so it is important to be able to see the tv from the front and sides.

    deleting showcase programs

    On an HR20-700 that is running the national release software is there any way to delete the programs that are in the showcase folder? Most of it is Sunday ticket junk and some of it even says it is expired. There is no delete option and the red button on the remote does not do anything either.
