I started with DirecTv when the first Satellite TiVo PVR came out. But, I am now a Comcast customer. Instead of getting the Comcast X1, I decided to get a Tivo Roamio Plus and three TiVo Minis. These cost me $857.00 DirecTv was costing me $116.00 per month for the XTRA package, DVR service, HD...

I called DirecTv (800-824-9081) on Monday after seeing that Newegg had the H20 for $169. I had already bought the HR10-250 with the $100 rebate and decide to get the H20 if I could get a good deal. Called Customer Service at the above number and told her about the Newegg price. I was offered an...

I am travelling out of the country this summer and was trying to figure out how I want to store my pictures until I upload them onto my computer. I found this device http://www.dealtime.com/xPC-Alera_Technologies_Alera_Technologies_Copy_Cruiser_Plus_USB_330100 Aleratec USB Copy Cruiser Plus for...

Tom, Thanks for info. I'm not sure when I will do the upgrade. I have two HD-TiVo Recievers now and really only 1 HD Television. The other HD-TiVo is connected to a 15" LCD TV. If I get the H20, I don't know how I will use it. But the idea of getting it for free is nudging me along. Rick

Confused I'm in the SF Area and I believe that the MPEG-4 rollout is underway. Can I get the H20 for free? $199 - $200 mail-in rebate? What about the antenna? It looks like the antenna has six cables out? So this will require something like the Zinwell WB68. Now this is where it gets tricky...

4x3 FEATURE for 16x9 Sets. I have a 16x9 Hitachi, and this is a FEATURE for me ;) . I have my HDTiVo setup for 4x3. When I watch a SD picture, I use the 480p output. On my Hitachi, I set the geometry for 480p to be 4x3 expanded. This stretches the picture to the edge and overstretches the...

Well, I am now a DirecTv customer and will soon sell my dishNetwork equipment. My only real complaint is that the DirecTivo Players have very slow menus. The non-Tivo Receivers are very nice. Much better than the 301s they replaced. But I am getting a head of the story. The day after Memorial...

... HD DirecTivo unit arrived. I found it safely at my front door when I got home from work. I thought that I would have needed to sign for it, but it was just there. Opened the box, and checked it out. Closed the box and waited for today. Arrived at Circuit City for the DirecTv dance. No...

Agghh! I'm sure that this is obvious to someone out there but I really thought that I could easily get the HD-TiVo and switch from dishNetwork to DirecTv. but... DirecTv has LOTS of NEW customer programs and after I confirmed that my CC HD-TiVo was on its way, I picked one that would get me...

My HD-PVR is on its way!! I should have it Monday or Tuesday. I've been on the waiting list for the 921 since mid December, and finally will get an HD-PVR by just ordering one on Wednesday. The only issue is that since it will say Hughes HR10-250 Tivo on it, I will need to switch to Directv. I...

Depending on how badly you wanted one, I would check the website as often as possible. I would probably skip the 2 am checks. I would not trust email for much of anything. When it works, great! But nothing is perfect and there are delays and email that gets lost. Not a lot, but enough to make...

Same thing happened to me yesteday. Email was received while I was away and by the time I got to the site, they were gone. Thiis morning, I did a check of the CC site even though I had not received new emal notification. They were in stock and AVAILABLE! I just got my confirmation email. Now I...

I was told that I would have to pay $240 to leave Dish Network. I have an 811, 3 301s, two SW64s, dish 500 2 duals, and 1 dual for 148. I think selling these items would cover the charges. I'm waiting for the HD-TiVo to be more readily available and I also want to see if the 811 gets a hardware...

Oakenshld, thanks for figuring this out for me. I didn't see the pattern. Yep, 48.2 was the last LOCAL I was adding. I have a few channels above 48.2, so I added one of them and now I have 48.2 AND the channel above is not included. I don't know why the dish support couldn't tell me this. I...

OTA Problems still exist I cannot save channel 48-2 KNTV HD in my favorites list. This is a weird problem because the channel will show up in the ALL CHAN list and the SUB CHAN list. But I cannot save it in the list that I want to save it in. I tried to save the channel in a list named LOCALS...
