    My weekend call /MPEG4 upgrade "news"

    I called DirecTv (800-824-9081) on Monday after seeing that Newegg had the H20 for $169. I had already bought the HR10-250 with the $100 rebate and decide to get the H20 if I could get a good deal. Called Customer Service at the above number and told her about the Newegg price. I was offered an...

    H20 installation

    Tom, Thanks for info. I'm not sure when I will do the upgrade. I have two HD-TiVo Recievers now and really only 1 HD Television. The other HD-TiVo is connected to a 15" LCD TV. If I get the H20, I don't know how I will use it. But the idea of getting it for free is nudging me along. Rick

    H20 installation

    Confused I'm in the SF Area and I believe that the MPEG-4 rollout is underway. Can I get the H20 for free? $199 - $200 mail-in rebate? What about the antenna? It looks like the antenna has six cables out? So this will require something like the Zinwell WB68. Now this is where it gets tricky...

    4:3 television aspect ration problems

    4x3 FEATURE for 16x9 Sets. I have a 16x9 Hitachi, and this is a FEATURE for me ;) . I have my HDTiVo setup for 4x3. When I watch a SD picture, I use the 480p output. On my Hitachi, I set the geometry for 480p to be 4x3 expanded. This stretches the picture to the edge and overstretches the...

    How NOT to get an HD-TiVo

    Well, I am now a DirecTv customer and will soon sell my dishNetwork equipment. My only real complaint is that the DirecTivo Players have very slow menus. The non-Tivo Receivers are very nice. Much better than the 301s they replaced. But I am getting a head of the story. The day after Memorial...

    How NOT to get an HD-TiVo

    ... HD DirecTivo unit arrived. I found it safely at my front door when I got home from work. I thought that I would have needed to sign for it, but it was just there. Opened the box, and checked it out. Closed the box and waited for today. Arrived at Circuit City for the DirecTv dance. No...

    HD Tivo- Circuit City instock again at 2:15PM CT avl for 2nd day Air for $12 more.

    Depending on how badly you wanted one, I would check the website as often as possible. I would probably skip the 2 am checks. I would not trust email for much of anything. When it works, great! But nothing is perfect and there are delays and email that gets lost. Not a lot, but enough to make...
