    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...

    SWM & Cable Internet?

    So I have a little issue. I have one run into my house, stucco and Comcast Internet and DirecTV. Since I cannot fight off NFLST, and I can't get DSL over 1.5Mbps can I run my Internet and DirecTV off the same wire?

    HDD Upgrade

    I am just curious if anyone has tried to upgrade the internal disk on their 622? I have a 500GB disk sitting here since I just went to two 750's for my mirror. If you have what did you use? I was thinking of just running Acronis, but before I close the disk and expand the partition I am curious...

    Dental Implants

    Just curious if someone here is a dentist or endodontist. I had an implant this morning and was told not to smoke. I understand this with an extraction, but WTF with an implant? I was driven into my jaw with a DRILL for crying outloud. What risk can there really be. I understand why not to...

    VIP-211 with a VIP-622

    Hey all, I am sorry to bug with a dumb question like this but ... I had a VIP622 and just received a VIP211. I thought I could have both plugged into my home LAN and watch the DVR shows on the 211. Is this not the case? I ask because there is no network config menu for the 211 like there is for...

    OK so I have a funny one here. My 622 has been in "single mode" since I got it. I want to hook another TV up now so I hooked up TV2 out and connected it to my cable TV backhaul. However, upon connecting it to the TV, tuning to channel 100 there is no picture, just snow. Now I thought...

    Dish really has it together ... NOT

    [RANT] Why is the ViP622 such an upidstay nituay?

    That is "Stupid Unit", for those not speaking pig-Latin. Tonight I missed L&O SVU because I have had to reset the "Timers" 4 times, to allow me to watch my own TV, or so I thought. As I have learned I cannot actually record an OTA program and use my own TV. Yes, I come from the working world of...

    Programming requirements

    Let me start by saying I have no commitment with DirecTV, and I own my equipment outright. I switched to Dish Network about 10 days ago and I am so happy with with their hardware I have decided to cancel my DirecTV service. I made payment for the NFL ST Package in July and Superfan in August. I...

    Dish HD?

    OK, as we all know I am a long time loyal D* sub, mostly because of NFL ST. I have been thinking about subbing to DISH the last few days and have a couple of questions for those that already have the service. I would be a one room, one TV sub since I already have TiVo and ITVN in the bedroom...
