    DIRECTV Announces New HD!

    I just wish I could just pay for the freaking channels I wanted and no others. I don't care about 3D, ESPN, ESPNU, HBO HD, Showtime HD, or most other BS re-run channels...why do I have to pay for 190 channels I don't watch?? Given the OTA channels I get and what I can watch over the internet...

    Well I only watch a few channels and I called to cancel DTV and they dropped by monthly charge by $20 a month to keep me. I have 200+ channels and watch maybe 15 at the max...with the options available online I'm about ready to just cancel all paid TV and watch OTA or online. :rant:

    Recording Glen Beck on HLN...can I pick just 1 recording?

    I love the Glenn Beck show but he's filling up my hard drive. His show has no description so it records all 3 shoes a day as new, if I get a few days behind my HD starts filling up (I swear the HD on my media room DVR is way smaller that my bedroom). Anyway, is there a way to set it to record...

    That's why I left them last week...can't get a straight answer from anyone. Also pissed me off that I had to got to a 250 channel package just to get the V/S channel.

    ESPN News HD

    I watched ESPN this morning for the first time since switching from Dish and the PQ was awful. On Dish it was crystal clear so I was surprised at the difference.

    I'm going back to DTV...will my old HDVR2 still work??

    Well, the installers would not install the older unit since it was not on their work order, I understand no problem. I hooked up the unit myself to see if it would update or do anything, it's a HDVR2 it will boot up in the great screen say welcome, then say just a few more minutes, and then...

    Bright blue lights on HD DVR...

    I just got my HD DVR's installed today and so far I like them, very easy to use...but what's up with those bright blue lights on the front?? In my media room it's over to the side, but in my bedroom it sits right below the monitor and it's really distracting. I've searched here an looked in the...

    I'm going back to DTV...will my old HDVR2 still work??

    DTV is coming Friday to install HD service, I have a old (2 years) HDVR2 receiver that I would like to use. My question is will it still work (it was a Tivo DVR) and will I still have to pay a lease or monthly fee? when I had DTV before I owned the receivers, we didn't have to lease, I would...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    Yea, I'm understanding it's not TIVO anymore. Costco has a great deal $200 off a 30" HDTV when activating DTV which we have been looking to get, another $50 and $100 off the HD DVR. Also, they are going $20 off the bill for a year too and I will finally get Spike, SciFi, Versus, and the other...

    Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

    I'm out too. Dish seems to have no idea what HD channels they have, one week it's 24, next week its 40 something and then it's 70. I can't get a honest answer about anything so screw it. Costco has a great offer for DTV and I'm taking it...getting $200 of a new HDTV plus $150 off getting a...

    Would-Be Newbie Question About Dish Network and Cable Internet

    I am just cancelling my TWC HD package, it sucks. The picture quality on the basic channels on the 53" is horrable and the HD skips and breaks out all the time. No problems keeping RR and having the Dish.

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    I just called Dish and they FINALLY understood after I explained it. They seem to be so hooked on these receivers being able to serve two room they loose focus that you may want to use those two tuners on the same room. Thursday is the install day for the 2nd DVR, lets' see what happened...

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    Yea, exactly what I thought. The Dish installer said we could and I disagreed, I even clarified the question to him. I will be calling them again today. I want a DVR in my bedroom and a dual DVR in the media room so I will need to have them come back out.

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    I did read the manual, I see where it says I can record 2 programs while I'm watching a "previously recorded show" but don't see how we can do 3 things at once. The layout is this: Media room: 622 Den: 311 Bedroom: linked to 622 So, last night we started recording a show in the media...

    New install: Asked for 3 rooms got 2 tuners and sharing one?

    Sorry, yes I did get the 622 HD DVR for the media room. I have never heard of sharing a DVR before, tonight was our first night and it sucked. :) We have a busy house (6 people) and sharing one DVR is not going to cut it with the boss.
