    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    I havr the X1 satellite box in my bedroom and it allows me to do 1080P at 60hz. Try looking again and see what it gives you. If not, pure speculation on my part, maybe your TV only goes to 1080i or not supported in your area? I'm in Seattle. Hope that helps!

    Tivo Xfinity On Demand

How do they like it? I'm thinking of getting one as the DVR in the Seattle market sucks. Only 2 tuners an half terabyte...
