    Upgrading my sony 6600 HTIB

    It has been a good system, but I finished my basement/bar area and have a great area for movie/sports watching on a 56" TV. The sony is ok, but it lacks features on the newer models and it is time to upgrade. I started by looking at some yamaha htib systems, with the though of upgrading the...

    Those of you with a 2 hopper setup

    Do you have PTAT going on both hoppers, or just on one of them??? I assume when the hoppers can be linked only having on one would be necessary since you can access recordings on either hopper.

    Just got my 2H/3J install...love it so far...

    The only thing is he mapped one joey to a wrong Hopper.... will the update that is "coming soon" make it easy to link it to the other hopper? from what i read it looks like that will be a feature, but want to make sure I am reading it correctly...thanks in advance.

    I am tired of waiting... I have a "moving" question

    I really was hoping to have local HD in Lynchburg by the time March Madness started on CBS, but it looks like that wont happen.... I have been skeptical to consider "moving" to get Local HD, because it just seemed odd, and I dont fully understand things like "spotbeams" and I dont know 129 from...
