    TiVo v. E*

    I tried to update this thread but not able to, so decided to open a new thread. A most recent ruling on 3/31/09 by the DE court dismssed TiVo's motion to dismiss the E*'s new lawsuit against TiVo, and in that ruling the DE judge rebutted every one of TiVo's arguments: 1) Based on E*'s new...

    My mini review of I Am Legend 1080p

    After cleaning up some of the scheduled recordings at night three 501 VODs showed up on my 722 this morning. I decided to order it since it was only $2.99. The initial start test took about 5 seconds and the movie started, but my 722 did not synch to my Panasonic 1080p plasma correctly because...

    Finally discovered, E* “turbo charge” changed my 1080i setting to 480p!

    After reading the debate as whether the E* HD PQ has become better or worse after the “turbo charge”, I did a side by side comparison (my third such tests) between my 722 and my D* HR21. I declared that E* has visibly downrezzed its HD PQ compared to D*’s. I then discovered, that this so...

    Hey VOOMers, should begin to prepare for your second funeral

    The first time you lucked out because Charlie had a chance to buy the Rainbow satellite for cheap, and there were not a lot of HDs on the market. Things has changed a lot since then, and VOOM's own lack of effort to put new content up had sealed its final DBS demise, DISH has planned to...

    My suggestion for DISH--Ultimate HDDVR Package

    I have speculated one of the main reasons Charlie is still negotiating HD agreement is he needs to add those new HD's in his $29.99 "HD-Only" pack and still make some profit. He can still do that now but if he adds most of the 25 HD's on his list his carriage fees will eat him alive if he could...

    My first impression of D* HD vs. E* HD

    Before the installation, I filled my E* HDDVR with selected HD recordings, intended to do a side by side comparison with D* HDs, before my E* receivers are returned. I focused on mainly HGTV and FOOD channels since that is the time I have for now. I used my 50" Panasonic 1080p plasma, with both...

    Buy one 750GB or two 500 GB drives?

    I can get two Seagate Freeagent 500 GB drives for $214 including shipping, which seems the best $/GB out there, or for a little more get a 750 GB. Is there any downside of using two drives? I thought having two is more flexible, I can play one and transfer on another one at the same time (I...

    Any way to lease three HDDVRs?

    I currently have two leased 622 DVRs from a year ago, but need a third one for my new HD set in the kitchen. It is not critical this TV gets true HD feed since it is only 19", but still I'd prefer an HDDVR since we are spoiled by them. The E* tech said this is not possible, I will have to buy...
