I've got my old DVR 80 on eBay and someone asked a question....can he use the DVR with his cable system as well as DTV? I got rid of cable in favor of DTV so never entertained the idea. So, if his cable company has those cable cards that serve 2 tuners on one card...will it work? Thank you

I have called a few companies that re-sell DTV and gotten very similar numbers for equipment. Namely, 199.00 for the first HD DVR and 299.00 for the second. These all have 200 hour (SD) HDD. Can I get more bang for the buck if i just let the DTV reseller supply me with the "free" SD receivers...

I have a DirecTivo series II SD DVR. This DVR has a USB port on the rear that has not been activated. I am planning to purchase an HD display and sign up for DTV HD and get an HD DVR. So, I will have the Series II up in the bedroom and the new rig down in the den. I'd like to be able to move...

I'm going to be searching ebay for a Series 2 DirecTivo that I can use to complement my existing Series 2 unit in order to use HMO, TivoToGo, etc. I've noticed a couple of units there. My question is.....does a resource exist that will tell me which units are Series 2 and whether or not any...

So, I have perused the forums and asked a couple of questions and learned a whole bunch! I would like to be able to move content around my house .... I'm soon to be ready to get a second DirecTivo...... I've visited 3 different Best Buys and all they have are the DirecTV units and the DTivo...

I hooked my DirecTivo up to a Toshiba DVD Recorder. Any program that I send to Toshiba HDD has only a date/time stamp from the transfer. I cannot edit it so that it reads the program name and air date. Is this commmon to all DVD recs or can i get one that is editable?

I am aware that the RCA Remote Control Signal Sender will allow me to change the channel on a "master" DBS receiver so as to send that channel to the remote location. My question is.... Will i be able to control the DVR portion of my DirecTivo so as to remotely choose what to watch from the...

I know that as far as regular Tivo units are concerned we can make an image of the existing HDD and load it into a larger capacity unit and then swap that larger unit in. Is there any reason to think that the same would not be possible with the DirecTivo units?

I need to supply a DirecTivo with 2 sat leads, I also need to feed a separate sat receiver. The question is....can I do this without using a multi switch by getting a multihead LNB? Right now I have a round dish supplying 2 leads. I'd prefer to replace the dish and LNB rather than getting a...

I'd like to supply the TV in my workout room with DTV. I'd like to "slave" this TV off the satelite receiver in my bedroom. That receiver would need remote channel changing via wired or wireless remote. This product seems to do this...
