    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    I just wish I could just pay for the freaking channels I wanted and no others. I don't care about 3D, ESPN, ESPNU, HBO HD, Showtime HD, or most other BS re-run channels...why do I have to pay for 190 channels I don't watch?? Given the OTA channels I get and what I can watch over the internet...

    HIGHER PRICES COMING PEOPLE

    Well I only watch a few channels and I called to cancel DTV and they dropped by monthly charge by $20 a month to keep me. I have 200+ channels and watch maybe 15 at the max...with the options available online I'm about ready to just cancel all paid TV and watch OTA or online. :rant:

    Recording Glen Beck on HLN...can I pick just 1 recording?

    I love the Glenn Beck show but he's filling up my hard drive. His show has no description so it records all 3 shoes a day as new, if I get a few days behind my HD starts filling up (I swear the HD on my media room DVR is way smaller that my bedroom). Anyway, is there a way to set it to record...

    ESPN News HD

    I watched ESPN this morning for the first time since switching from Dish and the PQ was awful. On Dish it was crystal clear so I was surprised at the difference.

    Bright blue lights on HD DVR...

In my media room it's over to the side, but in my bedroom it sits right below the monitor and it's really distracting. I've searched here an looked in the...

Also, they are going $20 off the bill for a year too and I will finally get Spike, SciFi, Versus, and the other...
