    Don't go with DirecTV After several months of SBS on DirecTV, I say DOn't do it. Tivo still drives us crazy. My wife watches one or two dramas from SBS. Mostly watch KBS now. Picture Quality of SBS on DirecTV is great though. Still no MBC and YTN doesn't have guide information. Just get...

    Replay Well I did some comparison research long time ago, and the consensus is that ReplayTv is superior in almost every respect. Tivo is all marketing. Once you get Tivo, upgrade your Tivo with additional hard drive so that you don't have to worry about Tivo constantly deleting your shows...

    Think twice about switching to DirecTV Hi, folks. It's been sometime since I added DirecTV SBS package. You may remember my complains about Tivo. I am beginning to think that this was a bad move. I can never get use to Tivo. ONE biggest thing that bugs me is that there is no free disk space...

    DirecTV Well, I needed to run two more coax for DirecTV. (Tivo can record two shows at the same time). My recommendation is to wait until everything is settled down. Then either move to DirecTV completely or remain in Dish. If you get both at the same time, too much trouble.

    Feedback Hi. No MBC yet, but very close. I found SBS quality is much better on DirecTV than Dish. YTN is OK. Tivo is colorful, but as far as functionality, I don't think it is better than Dish DVR. I have lots of complain. I called DirecTV about all these, but they simply blame Tivo. :mad...

    Regarding MBC I forgot to add this. My dealder told me that DirecTV was supposed to put out MBC at the end of Nov., but DirecTV didn't give them the exact time frame. He also said that DirecTV thinks charging $10 for MBC was too much so they are thinking of getting a Korean movie channels...

    DirecTV Hi, folks. I placed an order with my dealer today. The dealer told me that DirecTV will start broadcasting MBC starting in December. I will probably stick with Dish Network but take down two current dishes and upgrade it to SuperDish and subscribe a basic package that includes...

    MBC package price I got a word from my dealer. SBS/MBC/YTN package will be priced at $24.99. I know and I feel the same way for SBS (lots of Korean companies still do their business that way). This time, I will follow SBS since moving to DirecTV is free for now.

    Channels Yes some of them are junk. Game channel, as you have guessed, they are 24 hour game channel. They show you game playing screen most of the time and gamecaster (sportscaster?) talks about how good the game player's reflex is. All I can say is grow up and get a real job. Many Korean...

    Feedback Well all religious channels I dont' watch even though I believe in Buddhism. M.net and OCN, they are fairly well known channels. Then again I am not in late 30s so I am not in the age group who watch M.net music channel (Well aren't they like MTV, with all those half naked Korean...

    Wow vs. MBN Well, I noticed this yesterday. if you asked me, I didn't watch either channel when I was in Korea. WoW is, as you said, for nich market (shall we say too vertical?). MBN is better for me. WoW takes away my 5% chance of watching MBN. at least MBN has some medical related...

    Thanks Thanks for sharing, Summit. Wow is, I think, Han-Gyung, which is Hangook Gyungjae, business news. So it is almost like MBN (Maeil Gyungjae News). YTN (on DIrecTV), will be incorporated into $15 SBS package, is Yunhap Tongshin, 24 hour News channel like CNN, is currently free on...

    Reply to some comments First, no, CJmall and GSeshop doesn't ship overseas. Just that it is fun to watch for killing time. i don't want to bad-mouth Korean Dish Network customer service since there aren't many if not 1 person. But it really is true. Not a retailer. He actually speaks on the...

    Ready to jump ship! Well, again no drama channel. Even though my wife and I watch Korean TV thru Dish, I am not interested in MBN, Wow, Arirang (not really for Korean), JSTV (Please !!), Buddhist, YTN, video game, music, etc. Loosing MBC has become a trigger for us to jump ship. Getting...
