    New Install - Should I worry about which equipment I get?

    One more question, sorry ... eventually I'd like two DVRs so I can record all of my college basketball without worrying about losing something of my wife's. I only have one TV right now, so I don't even have anywhere to install a second receiver. If, in a few months, if I decide I want it, how...

    New Install - Should I worry about which equipment I get?

    Since the units are all leased, are they also automatically under warranty (like with the cable company)? I see there is a "Hardware Protection Plan" while checking out. If these are not covered, what's the reliability like?

    New Install - Should I worry about which equipment I get?

    I thought they were all Lease now? Under what circumstances are they owned? The other nice thing about the BB route is, online at least, you get a $50 gift card to BB. I was kind of hoping they had the same thing in store, where I could pick up whatever box I wanted, but you are probably...

    Sports fans: ESPNU HD or Versus?

    I like college basketball, and ESPNU has been much better for that. I'm a fan in the Big East (Go Marquette!), which gets a fair number of ESPN/2 games, but not all. ESPNU makes it easier to keep up on the league. Anyway, there was another post that said BOTH. I'm going to have to agree with...

    New Install - Should I worry about which equipment I get?

    I'm a big enough of a second guesser that I'm hoping for some calming clarity regarding the equipment that I'll get. My understanding is that the HR23 is the best HD DVR DirecTV offers. I'm not sure what "best" entails (fastest? bigger HD?). My two questions would be: Does it actually...

    Any Milwaukee/SE-WI user requesting DNS for CBS (58/5)?

    I'm missing something there, aren't I? I tried all manner of antenna -- but that was maybe a year ago, so perhaps the tuners have gotten better at dealing with multipath. Truth is, I don't want another big thing on top of my house, though, so that might end up being the killer for D*. I just...

    Any Milwaukee/SE-WI user requesting DNS for CBS (58/5)?

    I'm really close to signing up for D*, but noticed that my CBS affiliate isn't provided in HD. I live directly across from an airport, and have never been able to get an antenna to work due to multipath (or so I'm told). I'm a pretty big college basketball fan, so getting CBS would be a big...

    MRV Discussion

    I'm trying to decide between uverse and directv. My last differentiator is total home / MRV. I'm not sure if this us anti-CE etiquette, but I had a question that I couldn't seem to answer from these threads. Can two HD DVRs MRV between eachother? Does the recorded items list group together...
