While you can certainly add me to the list of those will will be disappointed with the additional $4.99 charge, I am not convinced they will grandfather all of us (despite their rhetoric to "the street" that there would be no additional charges). I hope I am wrong, but consider the following...

If you got the HR20 as a replacement via the Protection Plan, rather than as a good faith out-of-warranty replacement, you should own the HR20 as it is the protection plan replacement for the HR10 (you pay monthly for the replacement plan, so there shouldn't be any strings attached - you should...

Came back from vacation to find many shows from last week (through yesterday) didn't record as planned. When I looked into the history, the missed shows say that the recording was deleted earlier due to a need for the space to record a show that started one minute before the other show. For...

I think I have the same problem as you do -- periodically I get the green gibberish all over the screen. Mine is easily and quickly fixable by changing the resolution on the TiVo itself (not via remote). Just press the button on the Tivo to cycle through the resolutions until you get back...

My experience: ABSOLUTELY YES! Been with both companies, and there is a night and day comparison. I had E* from 1997 through 2004. While I upgraded receivers several times with them (going from a 4000, to a 4700 for Dolby Digital, then to a 6000 for HD), I've only gotten any incentives from...

Well, it looks like I am not alone -- but are there enough of us to get Directv to look into the issue??? If you have this audio dropout problem, where the dropouts occur frequently (at least every couple of minutes), please: 1) Post here (if you haven't already), and 2) Call Directv and...

I just tried my analog connections, and there are no dropouts at all. This is a problem only with the digital output...and the dropouts are pretty constant and consistent. PeaceOfMind -- did yours just start recently too?

Over the past week I began to get repetitive and frequent audio dropouts with my HD TiVo. These now happen about once or twice a minute, and are extremely annoying. My video is fine, and I don't experience any pixelization, etc. at the time the dropouts occur. While I have had periodic audio...

I've used both, and while I am currently using Dish, I wouldn't be happy paying for it (I have a 508, which is not subject to the fee). Tivo has add-on capabilities that are worth paying for; Dish just allows timers like a glorified VCR. For example: 1. Tivo's Season passes which find your...

Have you looked at the Channel Master 4228? It's UHF only (so no VHF HD channels will be picked up, if any).

Generally speaking, you can control multiple E* receivers with a universal remote. The real key is the learning abilities/capacity of your remote. Each of the E* remote address codes change both the RF and IR codes emitted by the remote (and expected by the receiver). So, for example, I have...

I had my set calibrated about 4 years ago by another ISF certified calibrator. There is truly a night and day difference. And the best part is that you appreciate the differences more and more each day... There is, however, one downside: you will never, ever be able to appreciate a TV on a...

Good point about WPIX - I forgot they were on Channel 12. I doubt that the Channel Master UHF would receive channel 12, unless as Sean said, you are close to the city. This antenna's roll-off below channel 20 is pretty steep, but still better than many others. Take a look at the graphs I...

Sean, I agree with you about the CSRs seeming to be curteous and supportive. I've unfortunately had to call a few times regarding installation issues (see the Metro NYC thread if you want the details), and each time the CSRs gave me the impression that they cared about getting the issues...

Bill (Mr. Biggles), I respectfully disagree with you that the full blame belongs to the installer. Voom should be responsible, since they chose the installers. It seems to me that most people's complaints center around off-air installation issues, and clearly Voom has not demonstrated that...

I had my initial installation two weeks ago (Feb 29th), and warned them in advance that I would need a stronger antenna (located in Rockland County). They said no problem, the installer would bring a bigger antenna with them and I would only pay the excess over the first $60. So, I signed up...
