    R15 Versus TiVo! Must read for anyone interested in an R15

    I don't think it's really fair to give the R15 slack, because of what should be fixed in future firmware updates. That may or may not come to be, and often updates make things worse than they were to begin with (anyone who has had Dish Network is nodding their heads in agreement right now)...

    Interested in swapping addresses (need Canada, have US)

    Sorry, I'm just not paying $100/yr for an address in Canada, especially if there's people in Canada needing a US address. A trade just seems logical. I don't want ExpressVU so bad that I'll rent the receiver, AND pay the regular monthly fee, AND pay the broker fee. A broker is fine for...

    Interested in swapping addresses (need Canada, have US)

    Just figured maybe I could save that $80-$100 or more, and someone else could do the same...oh well. Guess I'll just be sticking with DirecTV then.

    NBC Response about the Central HD Times Zone Feeds

    I have a very stupid question. If they are broadcasting both an SD and an HD signal for some shows, why can't they do that all the time? Just get some equipment to upconvert the SD shows to an HD format and broadcast that over their HD channel. No switch to flip, everything's broadcast in HD...

    Best place for MP3's

    AllOfMp3 is grey market. It's perfectly legal in Russia (there was a question as to whether they got the rights to the songs legitimately or not, didn't look too much into it, but they seem to be in the clear now). You'll pay 15-20 cents per song (it's based per megabyte, so the longer the...

    TV Over Wireless Network?

    If you have TiVo, you can stream between them using MRV (only on Series2, and if it's a DirecTV TiVo, then it has to be hacked first). There are some wireless devices that kinda work, the closest thing I've used is one that worked over a phone line. Quality was decent considering it used...

    Interested in swapping addresses (need Canada, have US)

    Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, but I did search, it seems ok to post, and I did see one post about this in this section. Basically, I want to subscribe to ExpressVU. I live in the US. I need a Canadian address. I found a dealer that will ship to the US, as long as I have...
