    [COMCAST] Comcast DVR vs Dish Network DVR

    I'll answer according t0o my usage of the Motorola HD DVR they have.. 1. It depends on how you are viewing, the default is pretty similar to DISH, there is no jump function, but you just hit a button a few times. It stores about a week in advance from what i can tell. 2. You can actually do...

    Who will win? HD DVD or Blu-ray?

    Who really cares which format wins when its a loss to consumers? These studios have gone insane with their compy protection demands that leave many people who have only component inputs out in the cold. both formats are useless to me, and many others.

    Your HD DVD/Blu-ray purchase plans?

    I would buy a standalone, but i know tons of people using PS2's and Xbox's as their main DVD player. That was one of the big selling points of the PS2 when it was first out. For a few bucks more than a Sony DVD player you could get a game console that also played DVD's.

    Your HD DVD/Blu-ray purchase plans?

    It's completely wrong when some of us have significant investments in televisions that have Component or firewire (shich was supposed to be the be all end all connection). How will you feel when some studio comes along and forces dvi and hdmi out in favor of the next big thing? It's really...

    Who will win? HD DVD or Blu-ray?

    My current player already upconverts and looks very nice. I don't think thats a huge feature unless they do a significantly better job. Normally I would say whichever way the industry goes, but its split. Then I would say whichever way the porn industry goes, but they seem set to support...

    GMAC Installed XM to Sirius Conversion?

    That link that was posted for that Directed Electronics Sirius (SIR-GM1) thing looks good. I did some research and checked out the install manual on the manufacturer's website http://www.directed.com/audio/sirius/SIR-GM1-Install-Manual.pdf. As soon as Circuit Sh%$% or Worst Buy get it in I'm...

    I believe you can get DVI/HDMI connectors for the 360, or maybe they are on the way, but I heard something about it. This link was where i read about it: http://interviews.teamxbox.com/xbox/1190/Xbox-360-Interview-Todd-Holmdahl/p1/ Its an interview with: Todd Holmdahl, Corporate Vice...

    GMAC Installed XM to Sirius Conversion?

    The cost isn't the issue, its the fact that I like the way the XM factory installed antenna looks like it belongs. Those add-ons never look right to me.. Pretty much any car kit i get would have an antenna anyway.

    I've been looking at the soundgate http://www.logjamelectronics.com/soundkngm1v3.html + the Directed Sir-Ken1 http://www.logjamelectronics.com/kenwoodktcsr902.html I had not seen this one, although waiting for technology to be available is not really something I like to do. I want it yesterday :D

    GMAC Installed XM to Sirius Conversion?

    Hey guys and gals, If this has already been addressed, I'm sorry. I did 2 days of google searches for information and came up with mostly nothing. My car came with XM, but I never used it and I am used to Sirius and don't plan to pay for both services. I have seen some equipment...

    Will Comcast Ever Move to Fiber-Optics to Compete with Verizon?

    Based on what I know from a few people I know at comcast they have (at least in the pittsburgh suburban areas) more bandwith to use if FiOS ever makes its debut around here. They have been FO for many years in my area, since around the time when, then TCI, rolled out cable internet.

    Comcast HD

    I notice this once in a while as well as sound drops on the digital sound (optical and coax). I believe it probably has something to do with the head end compression being used. Another possibility is that you have some neighbors stealing cable close to you. According to a friend of mine...

    offer from dish...this is better!!!!

    You may not be able to get the voom channels after the order is placed. AFAIK they have yet to offer them to current subscribers, and at that point you will be a current subscriber.

    Tech Questions on the Motorola 6412

    The 160, afaik hasnt been shipped, but its model 6416 (64 is the current dual tuner model and the 12 or 16 (or 08 on some cases) is harddrive space in 10's of gigs). So if it was model 6425 for example it would be a 250gb hard drive, although this model does not yet exist and may never in this...

    You can get all the same deals via the website and there is no 100$ fee for the second dish that way. Not sure if you can get the VOOM channels though that way..
