I can't get over how much I love my directv. I am amazed everyday by my genie and the incredible capabilities it has. Who would have ever thought that you could record 5 shows at the same time? I absolutely LOVE our guide, I was at my dad's house visiting and playing with his fios, and I HATED the guide. I think our guide is sooo awesome, and being able to make the custom guide. I think our HD picture quality is absolutely stunning! I love love love having my H24 in my office and it is like I have my genie right there with the MVR. I love it so much I find I am watching t.v. 24/7 in my office and I don't even go now into my "big screen t.v." room where my genie is located. I know there can be some issues like rain outs/heavy cloud disturbance, ect..., but I have never been sooooo happy with a t.v. provider. I truly feel that time warner cable should be ashamed of themselves for the antiquated equipment/dvr's they make their customers use. I was at a friends house the other day and he had cable and his guide was the old "digital" or whatever you call it and I just LAUGHED AND LAUGHED, it literally was like looking at an old atari or pong machine. Well, I will stop rambling on, I just LOVE DIRECTV!!!
