    FREE Sunday Ticket for all (new customers)

    I've had ST every year since 96 minus one season on dish when the pats rolled 16-0, never make that mistake again. The renewal notice was on my June and July statements as "notice" then Aug was billed ... As 0.00

    FREE Sunday Ticket for all (new customers)

    ...then it sucks to be you ;) It is free for all ... new subs, but only for two years. Considering I have been discounted the last 5/7 years I was surprised to get it no charge. I am just glad I won't miss the Broncos rollin to the Super Bowl. Prediction: 11-5 with our new coach (#18)

    FREE Sunday Ticket for all (new customers)

    No joke, my buddy told me to look at the price, 2 years free, new subs ... So I logged in, Sunday ticket max "$0.00" page indicates I am subscribed already and no balance due.

    NFL Sunday Ticket To Go bandwidth requirements

    Sorry charper & jimbo, I've been in class all week. I'll look for a place here with 3Mbps ... or goto the office, certainly we have enough bandwidth at f5.

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    Auto-shred as in black screen recordings with no show ... Still happens all the time in the Hr20 and I don't have hours to spend troubleshooting with call center agents with less knowledge about satellites than I have.

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    Well VoD doesn't even work on DirecTV, so that is not a fair comparison. However, lack of this functionality on cable and satellite is EXACTLY why they all need to support Netflix, Hulu, etc. I'm only interested in the TiVo so my DVR doesn't auto-shred my recordings. If is looking like the...

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    You should TiVo was not the delay ... TiVo had the product launch ready 10 years ago. It was Chase Carey who showed TiVo the door after 5 years of booming success on DirecTV.

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    TiVo does run on Linux...that is why it can be hacked by modifying init.rd via the serial port.

    HR24-500 or Tivo holdout?

    Must be 100, like I said Star Trek has 87. God help me if I ever have more than 10 recorded shows from one series. Just tested the Netflix instant queue and it was pretty instant. my human brain says less than .25 seconds when scrolling. Now I did reboot the unit and tired it and it took Netflix...

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    Mine was hacked, thus the Linux reference :) I had (IIRC) a 500GB disk, telnet, MRV and remote scheduling.

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    Great video link from Engadget. I'll bet the D* numbers soar and the churn declines.

    New DIRECTIVO coming next month?

    So much flaming (on TiVo) I cannot possibly respond to all. All I can say it TCF has 246,528 members and SatelliteGuys has 169,446. I'm not bagging you Scott, I love this place! The point is for only mathematical illustration. TiVo is to credit for the HR24, ViP 766 (or whatever), Replay...

    TiVo was never the delay source, it was D*

    HR24-500 or Tivo holdout?

    I also have the TiVo premier. I also shut of the HD menus, mostly because they are not all HD anyway ... Only the main menu. I also prefer those SD menus as they are what I've always had. A resolution update of the same old menus would suit me fine. I don't have the lag that you describe or...

    HR24-500 or Tivo holdout?

    Microsoft has made their bones in business, no doubt. That is why I use windows at the office. But at home it is all Apple and I have not have any form of malware since departing windows in about 2004. First to Linux, now to Apple. As far as TiVo versus others, definitely a preference, and also...

    HR24-500 or Tivo holdout?

    The bottom line with TiVo is it has and has always had the best UI. Ask Echostar $500M later. Just as Apple is better then Windows on the same premise ... It just works. Also, with an HR24 I cannot access Hulu, Netflix or Amazon Prime. The D * receivers have been of poor quality ever since they...

    SWM & Cable Internet?

    Thanks for the tips all. I think I'll have an electrician out to see if they can get another run into the basement. My southern exposed garage can get pretty warm during the summer, but I did do that for a year. May as well get it right since I'll be in this house for a good 30-50 years :)

    HR24-500 or Tivo holdout?

    Well it seems everybody is pretty happy with the HR-24 so I guess I'll go that route and keep my TiVo on OTA. Time to starting dialing for deals! Who is the preferred SatelliteGuys vendor these days?

    HR24-500 or Tivo holdout?

    No doubt I love TiVo but I cannot go without NFLST so I wanted to ask if anyone has even heard of a soft release for the next DirecTiVo? DirecTV has been saying for a year it is coming, but it looks more like vaporware every day and I need something better than the gawd-awful slow HR-20 I huge...
