    Timer function disabled, TIVO lawsuit?

    If they did take my unit down, then why should I go back to them. As far as being a newbie, I never had any reason prior to this to post or find out any info about dish products. I've been a dish customer for 10 years. The newbie deal that is offered by DTV except for dual room, is very...
