    What are my options?

    lol The other pending arrival is 7 weeks, not 9 months. :eek: With that... D* is saying they'll give me the dish and the HR20 for $100. So I guess I'm doing OK. Problem is, they're all sold out and have no idea when they'll have more. ugh

    What are my options?

    I have a Bravia 1080p TV coming tomorrow and I'll be moving the existing HDTV into the basement. I currently have a HR10-250 and a SD TiVo. I'd like to see what the upgrade/option path is for me with the pending arrival of the new TV. I've got about 9 months left in my contract. The...

    Chicago DMA, HD locals available?

    My Dad has a Dish 500 with a 510 receiver, I believe. He's getting a plasma soon and we're trying to figure out the best HD service to get. I see the 622s are "out". Could he get one or is the wait really long? Are HD locals out for Chicago? I don't see much on E*'s website. Does the 622...

    Why D* for my Dad?

    So my Dad has finally decided to step into the 21st century and get a HDTV. A Pioneer Elite 50" plasma to be exact... Lucky guy! He wants to get some sort of a HD DVR with his HD service. He currently has E* with a Dish 500 and no contractual committment to E*. Three TVs in the house...

    HR10-250 just died.. Got it from VE. Now what?

    I'll contact Robert directly and get an exchange, but it seems my HDMI just crapped out. I turned on the TV and the colors were all psychedelic... Nothing was even remotely close. So I quickly switched to some component cables and the picture is perfect. Is this color issue a typical...

    More MPEG4 cities start

    Robert, is it worth it for me to do the upgrade now? I'm in the Chicago DMA, and have a SD Tivo and the HD TiVo. I have been thinking of upgrading to an HD receiver to replace the SD tivo in the bedroom. So I guess I could get the H20. However, what will happen to my HD TiVo? Will it...

    How can I tell what will be in HDTV in advance?

    My Dad is coming over for lunch this Sunday and is expecting some HDTV for his viewing pleasure. I see the U.S Open (tennis) CBS will be on as well as West Virginia vs. Syracuse on ABC. Any way to tell if either will be in HD? Or the golf on NBC? Hopefully the NY feed is good for CBS HD...

    What's going on with my HD TiVo???

    I called tech support last night and asked them a ton of questions; mostly the above ones... Anyway, the HD TiVo tech (I got transfered from level 1 to level 2 support) said the 6.2 upgrade IS COMING. He doesn't know when, but it is coming. I played around with the audio/video lag issue...

    What's going on with my HD TiVo???

    It seems like I'm having some issues with my new HD TiVo. If anyone has any ideas what is going on, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I have a Sony RP LCD, using HDMI and optical audio to a receiver. 1) The TiVo menus and button response is incredibly slow. I don't know if it's because...
