I am currently on digital cable with Tivo Series 3. Going to D* for the wealth of HD programming, plus NFL network which our cheap cable co will not pick up. Some questions:
1. Went the Circuit City route, not the cheapest I know but at least it is coming next week. Told the guy I wanted EVERYTHING, but I didnt specify the extra HD pak. How do I add this ? Tell the installer ?
2. I know its not Tivo, which in MHO is the best DVR software on the planet, but does anyone have any experience from going from Tivo to the D* software ? IE season pass, etc
3. Any experience with remote phone devices ? I have to use one since I dont have phone line near the HDTV. I have a cable phone, but have had no problems with my security system that is connected to the cable phone system.
4. Does it do photos etc from a PC in the house ? Docs are not clear on this although its not that big of a deal
5. fyi, I have a Mitsubishi 65 inch DLP set in the LR, and a 50 inch LCD in the BR. Im getting 2 HD20S in those rooms, and a regular SD receiver for upstairs guests
6. HD on cable through TIVO 3 looks FANTASTIC, just not enough channels.
7. any problems with HDMI connectivity ? My TIVO series 3 HDMI did not work well with my TV.
8. Planning on weaknees to upgrade my hard drive to 100 hours HD, as I did with my TIVO series 3. ( TiVo Superstore | High Capacity TiVo DVRs, Upgrades, Remotes, Parts & Repairs )
Any tips/suggestions welcome.
Thanks for any help

First of all:
to the site.
Look around stay awhile !!!
1.Either the installer will tell them when he calls in or you can call in and add it, might ba able to do it online, but not sure about that.
2. I've never had TIVO, but as far as the season passes, I have plenty of them and have no problem with any of them.
3. The only thing that need a phone line for is if you want to order a PPV thru the remote, everything else comes over the datastream (dish).
You can order PPV's online as well.
4. Yes it will, do a search either here or at dbstalk,theres plenty of info available.
5. You mean your getting 2 HR20S's (R designates Recorder)
7. From what I've heard lately, HDMI is working better with the newer products, remember the HDMI issue is NOT strictly a D* problem, there are alot of issues with it in various products.
8. Only a 100 ??? How many GB's are you planning on adding ?

I guess even the patience of us laid-back Hoosiers has its limits:

Colts relieve general manager Chris Ballard of his duties
Colts Owner & CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon released a statement Monday announcing the news.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
