    CD USA using up Bandwidth 24 hours a day ???

    I agree what a waste. A crappy 1-2 hour show a week rebroadcasted all day and all week. It was bad enought that I had to watch it for the first 15 minutes and now it is repeated over and over. Stop the insanity.

    MPEG4 HD DVR and Home Media Center news:

    I have a general question when it comes to the HMC. If we are offered to rent the system from DTV, will we be charged one fee for the whole system or will we still have to pay a mirroring fee for each box attached? So for example will it cost a flat fee of say $8 a month or will I have to pay...

    Games being blacked out Here is a general question. I live in Boston and I have NESN and watch the Bruins games. Now NESN offers HD for cable but not for D* which is ok for now but what really pisses me off is that when a game is on HDNET it is blacked out. If they don't offer NESN in HD then I...

    Direct tv equipment issues

    Thanks for everyone's respones. There is some good info there. I still do not think that all receivers are subsidized by DTV. If I go to circuit city and buy a $300 receiver, I do not think it cost DTV more. It probably only cost $50 to make and they charge the consumer $300. This is how...
