So, is it like Betamax vs. VHS? or Windows vs. Macintosh?

DirecTivo bugs? I have been a heavy user for almost a year and have not found one yet.

You will get hooked on the TiVo search capabilities... want to see all the movies by a particular director? Stuff like that. After you have a TiVo for a few months, you won't be able to live without one. :D The two tuners means you can grab two shows while watching a third that you...

chilepepper -- I'm thinking, Guatemala, CA is not in CONUS... it's in Central America (CA = may be Califorina, or Central America)... -edit- Sorry, newbie here, I guess that was already obvious...

The links in the DirecTV FAQ do not work.

I've had DirecTV with TiVo for about a year. My signal on Sat1 and Sat2 varies from hour to hour and week to week... Sat1 %-ages usually in the 90s -- and Sat2 from 80s down to 30% or less... is this normal? TiVo ... Messages and Setup ... System Test ... Sat In Signal Right now...

I went from Comcast in 2003 to DirecTV with TiVo in 2004. Very happy with the service. Downtime on Comcast was a few days a year... downtime with DirecTV has been a few hours a year. Sorry, no experience with Dish Network, yet. I'm interested in reading comments about Dish Network vs...
