    Comcast is coming!

    Precisely. My area has had HSI through Road Runner for over a decade, I jumped on Verizon DSL when it became available ~ 5 years ago. But, now it seems Verizon doesn't want to do an upgrade from 1.5 Mbps down, let alone bring us FIOS. Just seems like they don't care to compete with TW in my area.

    TiVo's contempt motion is out

    I quoted you saying that "TiVo was the most innovative product, in regards to TV, in our Lifetime" and you fall back to accusations of theft? 1+1 doesn't equal 3. TiVo can't even deliver multichannel programming for you, it can only record what you receive from some other source, yet that makes...

    TiVo's contempt motion is out

    :rolleyes: Fanboi status confirmed. And speaking of "motion of contempt", I have my own that I use on occasion, I wonder what TiVos is.

    Can Dish Stop the Bleeding? Is Dish Bleeding?

    :D Funny because it's so true. 12 HD channels in my area and only 2 of them are broadcast HD channels, NBC and PBS. And I sense no urgency from them to address it. They just tag "Home of free HD" on their mailers, even though last I heard they were charging $4.95/mo. for their HD tier...

    Amen. You'll use your DVD recorder for archiving shows off the DVR so you can free up drive space for more new shows.

    TiVo vs Echostar lawsuit

    TiVo holds that its DVR was first to market, but there was a lawsuit between the two companies, which I believe was settled out of court.

    TiVo vs Echostar lawsuit

    Again, the link that you provide in that post mentions an update for existing DIRECTV with TiVo Series 2 boxes, no mention of overwriting the software on in-house DVRs. You're still not giving me any proof of this "thing you read". And some rant by a TiVo Fan Boi on an Internet blog tells me...

    TiVo vs Echostar lawsuit

    Where's your source for this info? The official announcement of a software upgrade to existing Series 2 DIRECTV with TiVo boxes is on the DIRECTV website: DirecTV - Investor Relations - News Release There is no mention made of a new TiVo box for MPEG 4 DIRECTV feeds. As a matter of fact...

    TiVo vs Echostar lawsuit

    You read wrong. TiVo is doing an update to existing DIRECTV with TiVo boxes. They're not releasing new ones. TiVo has never left DIRECTV and they have an agreement in place for maintenance of boxes until Feb. 2010. The newer MPEG 4 HD programming can't be viewed on a TiVo box, only on MPEG...

    Why is HD locals so important?

    For me, it's Sports and prime time programming. As far as Sports on ESPN, that doesn't do much good for the NFL games on CBS, FOX, and NBC. If I relied on ESPN for all my NFL, I'd miss out on the postseason.

    CNBC says E* to get MLB Extra Innings

    It means committing to carrying The Baseball Network, which premieres in 2009, in their base programming package, the same arrangement that DirecTV made.

    :confused: Why would DirecTV care? You are aware that D* signifies DirecTV and E* denotes Echostar, right?
