    I've been out of the loop for a few months...

    and it looks like I missed a big development! Directv has now become a lease only company? Please tell me this isn't true:(. This was the main reason I left Dish Notwork, and if it's true, I'll also be leaving Directv as well when my contract is up. First the totally crappy R-15, then...

    DirecTV's Junk DVR's

    You know what the saddest thing is about that article? The fact that only 15% of Directv customers even use a DVR at all.:( Hell, I'd rather have the buggiest, slowest, worst DVR than the best plain jane satellite reciever. I'm AMAZED that number is not much higher! 15%? Come on!

    Just checking..anyone get the $100 MIR yet

    I just wanted everyone to know I never ended up getting the rebate. I called and got the credit instead after waiting over 2 months.

    R15 Versus TiVo! Must read for anyone interested in an R15

    Buggy DVR's are the big reason I left Dish Notwork in the first place. If the R15 is still buggy when Directv comes out with the R20, I'm going to be pissed. I really hope they fix these reliability issues. There's nothing more annoying to me than a DVR that misses shows and crashes.

    Is my HR10-250 dead?

    I tried clearing and deleting everything and now it's stuck on that screen. It was even locking up in the menus as I tried to write down all of my SP's. The drive is definitely dead. I'm on the phone with Directv now.

    Is my HR10-250 dead?

    It's sitting on it's own shelf and the temps have never gone above 45C. Today it's gotten much worse. I was watching a channel and all of a sudden the guide pops up with only one line. A couple of minutes later the screen just goes totally black. I also noticed last night that on one of the...

    Is my HR10-250 dead?

    Today my HD-Tivo started acting up. It froze and wouldn't respond to any commands from the remote or the front of the unit itself. I rebooted and all seemed fine however there was no longer any guide data. A couple of hours later the data was back and the unit seemed to be working perfect...

    Spaceway 2 Launch thread - It's up!

    Will this launch be broadcast on a Directv channel? The last one was pretty cool to watch.

    R15 units rolling out now

    Yea Earl, especially since it sounds like Tivocommunity doesn't want any talk of improvements, bugs, and suggestions about the R15. I can't say I blame them, as the R15's not a Tivo. I was kind of surprised you put your review up over there anyway. I thought it would be here at Satguys...

    R15 units rolling out now

    Why replace an R-10 with the R-15 right now? The differences I see between both are very minor, like free space indicator, 90 minute buffer, etc. If you throw $100 at an R-15 you're also locked into Directv for another 2 years as well. I have the same setup as you and will be holding onto...

    Possible E* Convert

    The fee of $5.99 covers ever Directivo in your house. Now their is also an extra receiver fee (whether it's a Tivo or just a regular receiver) that is $4.99 for each additional. Ie, if you have two Directivo's you'll pay $11 a month, whereas with Dish you'd pay $15 a month, plus another $5 if...

    VE R15 scheduled to ship on 11/8/05

    I'll be waiting to read your review ebonovic. I see that the R-15 does allow you to watch a previously recorded show while recording two others though. That's a good thing! :D Now if we can just upgrade the hard drives in these I'll get one.

    Just checking..anyone get the $100 MIR yet

    I'm still waiting as well. I sent my form in on September 1. I know this because I called Directv last night asking where my rebate was. The CSR said she saw a note on my account asking what my confirmation number was. This was the number you have to write on the rebate form itself. I did...

    $299 HD-DVR w/ $100 rebate

    They damn well better not try and charge me for a new HD-DVR! They already made a press release saying how current HD-Tivo owners would only have to pay shipping and handling in order to get the new MPEG4 HD-DVR in '06. I think as usual the CSR knows nothing but talks anyway. BTW, I got my...

    HBO and Showtime HD ala carte

    It'd be nice though wouldn't it? 6 channels and they all play the same thing over and over anyway :rolleyes:.

    what does the "window" button do?

    On my HR10-250 it changes the view from "full" to "panel". Meaning sidebars or stretched.

    R15 versus E*'s 522/625

    The 522 was the single worst piece of electronics I've ever owned, and I don't say that lightly. Stay far away from it! My R-10 has been perfect so far. My Hr10-250 has been a little more quircky, but other than being really slow, it's also worked perfect.

    why is my direcTivo dialing out so much??

    That seems normal to me for having Vonage. Mine dials out at least that many times a day, usually more. All those LD calls to New York, it's a good thing they're free!

    Detroit MPEG4 HD Now Online!

    Cool, so Detroit has the HD locals first. Only 90+ more cities to go and my little cow town will get them too :(. I turn 33 on Thursday. I hope I live to see the HD locals. ;)

    Increase your free time

    Personally I think Tivo needs to change their logo from their "cute" little TV thing to the hour glass, but only put this logo on the HR10's. We HD-Tivo people know ALL to well what the hour glass looks like don't we? :( My HR10 was going REALLY slow (even slower than it usually does) last...

    942 versus HD-Tivo

    Lol. Comparing a 510 to an HD-Tivo is like comparing a Civic to an LS430. The 510 doesn't even have NBR.

    942 versus HD-Tivo

    Glad to hear you're not having any problems with the 942. Needless to say I was very worried when Dish said they were basing the 942 off of the ultra crappy 522. I had one of those horrid machines for a month and couldn't wait to get rid of it. 29 digital OTA channels?! Where do you live? I...

    Denver Waivers - DENIED!!!

    ABC has already had a digital sation set up here in the Springs at 24 for a while now. In my program guide it even states shows that should be shown in HD, but they'rre not. As a matter of fact, KRDO (ABC) looks absolutely terrible. You can tell it's just a very low quality analog signal...
