    What DVR combination for TV + PC?

    I just found this on cnet. As a laptop only user I have been limited in my options but this looks as if it might help with archiving. http://reviews.cnet.com/HP_DVD_Movie_Writer_dc3000/4505-3205_7-30471178-2.html?tag=review At least it might be the start of some better tech for dvd burning and...

    Help - Recording to PC?

    How about using one of the usb drive inclosures you can pick up for 25-75 bucks and connects via firewire or usb. Could you also use one of the fast swapable drive enlosure for the pc case. This would at least speed the process up on one end. Does anyone have an idea if something like this could...

    Help - Recording to PC?

    As I understand it, Unlike say tivo or replay units the sat dvr records the program in its original format without converting anything. It should be the same as seeing it in real time. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. Rumor has it (and you know how rumors float on the web) that...

    Help - Recording to PC?

    The PVRs will be usefull for time shifting shows you do not wish to archive. It would give you the flexibility to present when you transfer the show to your pc by the virtue of being stored on the PVR untill you delete it. So if something goes wrong with the PC (Not that that would ever ever...

    Superstation bundling

    I have not heard that the $3.00 superstation package would be changing. I do know that when I upgraded to AEP the csr was very surprised that the "computer" allowed me to keep the 8.99 local/Superstation pack as well. he had to redo the priceing that he had quoted me.

    is anyone happy with dish 811?

    With all of the problems it makes me wonder if it is all worth it. I am looking into getting a HD set soon. I qualified for the 149 deal and am having trouble deciding if i want to order it for later use with the new set.

    I have two brand new 510's and a SuperDish. I do not need anymore new equipment. What I need is a lower monthly bill. That would be a great offer.

    DVD/VCR Combo?

    If you have a dvd recorder/player do you really need a vcr as well? the more components in one box will increase the likelihood of a problem. It has been my experience that the vcr will go down long before the dvd will. when i got my pvr i got rid of all my vcr tapes and vcr. my home videos i...

    My Superdish is IN!!!!!

    I had my Superdish installed this afternoon. Everything went fine and I've got to say that my locals look great. It beats anything I have ever gotten from the locals on antenna. I am very pleased with it all. The installer came out because the retailor system was down and I was one of the few...

    Does anyone know anything about WildBlue

    That would be cool. I have given up hope for dsl where i live. If Dish says 2005 do you think they really mean 2006/7?!!!! I will have to decide to take the chance and wait on Dish or go with what is available. Direcway and Starband just have not appealed to me not to mention the price.

    Does anyone know anything about WildBlue

    I came across this website ( www.wildblue.com) and wondered if anyone on the boards knew anything about it. It seems to be a Ka sat based internet service. I live way on out in the country and have been pondering getting sat internet. This looks really cool.

    Deceptive advertising ? Maybe Maybe not. You be the Judge.

    When I first read the SC release it listed 3 retailers. After I checked with the nearest one(who knew nothing about SD and has no idea when he will) I checked the website for the release and all the retailers names had evaporated and the CSR says that it could be midjanuary before I can get the...
