Thanks - I was afraid of that. Hope it doesn't turn into too big of a hassle.

It seems like every couple of weeks, all my channels come through on my HD-TiVo as unavailable and I need to restart the unit. Is this commone, or is there a problem with my box?

Stop pullin' the newbies chain!! Seriously, do I need to worry about my HD TiVo? What exactly is the deal?

I just made the same switch (except I had a series 1, and no HMO), and I've gotta say the dulal tuner ROCKS. It's well worth the $50. Plus I sold my old TiVo (with extra hard drive and lifetime subscripton) on ebay for close to $300.

Please tell me this doesn't mean the HD TiVo I just plunked down major dollars for won't be unusable in 3 years!!

WHEW! Thr guded setup's got it. THANKS! I was hesitant to run guided setup because I remember it taking forEVER on my old SA. It doesn't take nearly as long here. Besides, when I checked signal strength, it had right digital channel mapped to the DTV chanell (which is that I thought a...

I've had the HD TiVo for about a month now, and all of a sudden today it betrayed me. I'm trying to watch the playoff game, but when I go to the HD channel (or any of my HD OTA channels) it tells me "channel not available". When I hook the antenna up to the TV's HD receiver, it works fine, and...

I guess that explains it. Thanks!

Yeah - 1080i works fine. Anything else I can check?

I'm using component - the TV doesn't have DVI. I probably won't be able to track down the model number until I get home, but I want to say it's a WS55511? Or maybe WS55512 - I think one may have the tuner and the other not. I've been doing that, and that works fine. I just want to make...

Sorry, yeah - 720p (oops). The TV does have an integrated tuner, and that's what I've been using get get my HD content until last week. I had no problem getting Fox or ABC.

It's a 55" Mitsubishi rear projection set (cant remember the exact model number off hand). It's about a year old. Doesn't one of the networks broadcast in 720i? I've been able to pick up ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and UPN with my OTA setup.

I was working on getting my new HR10-250 set up this weekend and noticed that whenever I set the TiVo to output in 720i all I got was a blue screen. Does this indicate some problem with the TiVo, or does that mode only work when the original signal is in 720i?

Thanks for the help, everyone. They're coming out on Wednesday to install my new D*!!

I'm not impressed. I'm waiting for ESPNClassics in HD!! :)

I was thinking that the TV wouldn't have an option for stretching the picture since it would be using an HD input. I guess that's just because my HD Antenna input doesn't have that option - maybe whatever input the TiVo would use would allow that. Is it a pretty easy switch to go from 480i...

I'm just curious about how the SD signal looks through the HD10-250. My TV does a pretty good job with the stretching, and I'd hate to spend $900 on a unit that makes the SD content (80% of what we watch) look bad.

Okay - that's kind of what I guessed. I don't have an outdoor antenna, though, so that wouldn't be applicable to me.

I heard that whistle as it flew by over my head.... I think I got the main answer I wanted though - I'll just need one OTA antenna (I'm using a set-top rabbit-ears type antenna) plus whatever for the D* I'll have D* when I get the TiVo, but I may not get the TiVo at the same time (I may...

So will it be a splitter coming out of the dish, or what? I'm still debating whether to buy, and if I do I may go do D* first and get the TiVo later. I'm assuming it's no harder to install than a stand alone TiVo. Is that right? I'm also assuming that won't cost the $5 for the extra "room".

I've got a really stupid question. I know the HD10-250 has 2 OTA tuners. Would I need 2 antennas to utilize them, or do both pull from the same source?

I agree wholehartedly. I'm only looking ahead 3 weeks, though :) . I'm just paranoid that after Christmas they'll say "All the gift buying is done, and anyone who would have paid $1,000 has done so. Let's cut the price!" I know - I'm being paranoid but I'm CHEAP! Besides, I'm not sure...

That's deffinately a consideration, and if I DO buy I'm leaning towards going that route. I'm thinking the 5-year waranty may well be worth the extra $50 ($849 is the best deal I've found elsewhere). That won't make me any happier if the price drops to $600 in the middle of January! :) I...

Okay - I figured out D*, and would have gotten V* if I'd seen it. I THOUGHT E* might be Dish, but I couldnt' figure out where the 'E' came from - thought maybe there was another provider out there I hadn't looked at. E* doesn't have a HD-DRV, do they? Any other opinions on whether the...

Okay, this is going to make me seem really dumb, but what is E*?
