    Intel/Directv Tuner

    Does anyone have any sense of what this is going to look like? I read the various press releases and it mentions very little about the form factor. I assume some kind of TV tuner pc card but I am not certain. For those of us who build their own HTPCs, any sense of whether it will be available...

    Mpeg4 Dvr

    I pm'd him and haven't heard anything either. I suspect he was mistaken . . . JS

    MPEG4 HD DVR and Home Media Center news:

    Someone in the know told me it might now be late fall before we see the HR20-250. Anyone care to comment? John

    DirecTV HD Rumor

    I have to say that I find this quite disturbing, especially when they don't have the HR20 available. What about us poor saps who have an HR10 but don't want to upgrade until the HR20 arrives? Are we left out in the cold?

    Directv Going To Lease Only On 3/1/06

    So, how will that work when DirecTV/Intel release their pc-based solution? Will I now have to rent my pc? ;)

    MPEG4 HD DVR and Home Media Center news:

    However, according to the DTV press release, it looks like we won't see the HR20 until mid-2006. Do you have any different information now? Thx. John

    MPEG4 HD DVR and Home Media Center news:

    So, I am now hearing rumors on the Tivo Community website about a late February release of the HR20. Longhorn, care to comment? Thx. John

    Robert, taking pre-orders for HMC yet? :)

    Let's not get too greedy. I'd just be happy with the HR20, especially since my local is already lit . . . John

    More MPEG4 cities start

    That is the big issue for me too: no Fox Sports Net Bay Area in HD via satellite. Zero incentive to upgrade.

    More MPEG4 cities start

    Ouch, that hurts. Only ABC, CBS, NCB and Fox? If that is the case, the proposition for the upgrade is substantially less interesting. PBS is important to me (its politics aside, its programming in HD is great) but more importantly, what about Fox Sports Net for SF Giants in HD? How soon will...

    DIRECTV rolls-out 4 more major DMAs with MPEG-4 LIL HD

    Other than by calling D*, how can one actually confirm that the HD locals are active in, for example, San Francisco? Is there a way to tell on the D* website? Thx. John

    H20 side-by-side w/H10 at BB in DMA#24

    I was in a Best Buy in Northern California over the weekend (SF-SJ-Oakland area) and there were oodles of H20s on the shelves . . . John

    Hr10-250 + H20

    Thanks for the reply and I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier. I am aware of the LA locals availability and I take advantage of it. It is unfortunate that I might lose that functionality in the coming days when SF locals are activated. I might delay upgrading if I knew how soon the MPEG4 HD DVR...

    Hr10-250 + H20

    Hello: I am in the SF market and will most likely be getting an upgrade offer in the near futrue. I really want locals on HD (but I can't get OTA in my location) but I don't want to give up Tivo functionality (at least until the Directv version). Has anyone thought about doing both boxes on...
