    30SKIP keeps going back to slip

    Same here. If I lose power or it locks up, then I have to redo it. Otherwise, it seems to stick for me.

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    Awesome. Thanks for confirming that. I imagine I'll need to get away from the constant stream of Nick Jr. shows from time to time in the back. :)

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    Just an update: I pulled the trigger. I used the refer a friend code and picked up the HR34 and the HR24 (hopefully that's what they send.) for $215. My first bill should be $40.99, and it goes up to 50.99 for two months, then 65.99 until 2014. I did look at the order, and it says LIFETIME FREE...

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    Sounds like the HMC/HD DVR combo is the way to go. I'm still holding out just a bit to see if Dish releases the Hopper in the next few days. Otherwise, I'm off to DirecTV land.

In the end, I just made a M-F timer from 10-11. How well does Direct's timers work in that regard? Is...

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    That's sort of what I'm thinking as well. It's a little more up front, but it would cost more in the long run if I wanted to upgrade. One of the uses that I read about on this board is the padding of the timers. Right now, my Dish will cut off a recording at the end of Parks and Rec to record...

    Potential new DirecTV customer Q: Is getting the Home Media Center and a HD DVR overkill?

    I just went to DirecTV's site to price out a potential 2 year contract. It looks like with their deal now, I'd be able to get Choice Xtra for 50.99 for the first 12 months, then 65.99 for the last 12 months. If I use my dad's refer-a-friend code, I could save a bit more too. What really...
