    New Directv DVR

    Can you explain more about this Oct 13th date? Is SWM supposed to be a standard part of installs after Oct 13th? Will that be only on new installs, or upgrades as well? If I already have the new dish, and want to add a DVR to a room that only has 1 line to it, will a SWM be installed for...

    Why can't they change the number of games in GameMix when less are on?

    Complete reprogramming? That sounds a little extreme. I'm not asking for much. I think out of the 17 weeks this year, there are about 12 of them where there are 4 or less late games scheduled. On those weeks, have the screen show 4 games instead of 8.

    Why can't they change the number of games in GameMix when less are on?

    Grrrrrrr.... My same complaint as last year. If there are only 4 late games scheduled, why can't DirecTV change the game mix channel to only show 4 games once all of the early games are done! This way, we could have a much larger picture of each! Does the MLB game mix channel do this at all?

    Directv iPhone Application First Look

    Thanks for the help with the Ipod touch software update guys. It did work just like you said. One thing I did notice though is that although it will let you record a single episode on Dtivos, it would not let me set up a series recording. It said that "Series Recording is not supported with...

    Directv iPhone Application First Look

    Good review. Thanks for doing this for everyone. It's just a minor nit pick, but I think these things need go through one more editing layer for spelling and grammer issues. There are quite a few issues in there. Again, this is minor, the content is what matters most. I was unable to...

    Who do you consider the greatest quarterback of all-time?

    Elway lost too many games because of his risk taking. Yes, he was spectacular and could take a team on his back and lead them to victory, but his gunslinger gambling was too high risk for good teams. I would take Montana any day to do whatever he needed to do to make sure his team won...

    MPEG2 HD to move to MPEG4 Thursday 7/31

    So, does this mean that the requirement that used to be in place where you had to be able to see 110 and 119 to get HD installed will now be over? A friend of mine ran into this and as a result of it switched to cable about a month ago.

    Most awful officiating calls you can recall

    The "incomplete" overruling via instant replay of Troy Polamalu's interception against the Colts in the 2005-6 playoffs. It's one thing for officials to get things wrong in real time, it's another to get it so wrong after reviewing replay.

    Interesting Commercial in West Michigan this Evening...

    Lin has the same trouble with DirecTV over their HD channel carriage. The common denominator here is Lin. Keep your carrier and tell the LiN station you'll watch other channels.

    Satelliteguys.us First Look, Digital Transition Conversion Boxes.

    Thanks very much. Very usefull review. I will be purchasing one of these as a back-up in cases where Sat reception is out. I had to use the built-in tuner of a 13" digital TV at one point last week. I would also use it for rare cases where I want to bring an additional TV into a room for...

    NCAA Basketball 2007-2008

    Has anybody talked to their local CBS affiliates about their plans with the NCAA tourney yet? i.e, whether they will broadcast additional games on their subchannels? I know my local affiliate said last year that they were not allowed to show a different game on their HD channel than they...

    The DIRECTV HD Starship Puts the HD in High-Def with the World's Largest LED Screen

    Did they show it on the telecast last night? I will echo Questioner's sentiment that the thing is butt-ugly in the picture posted.

    Best Buy dumps analog TVs

    I doubt this would mean all CRTs. It would just mean TVs with analog tuners. I would think that they would still sell some CRT sets with digital tuners, although with the price of LCDs dropping they are few and far between anyway.
