Thanks, Sean.
The only things that I'll probably miss from D* is Discovery HD, and the HD Nets. The rest of the BS i will not miss. Hopefully, CV will add these channels in the near future.
Itiraggi , Im just like you I recentally just switched from D* also (got the Double Play, Cable & Internet)
I am very happy with the picture quality on CV over D*, HD is noticably much sharper than D* is doing now (HD-Lite)
I too miss Discovery-HD, Hopefully CV will be adding this soon
You will still get the Nets-HD on YES-HD on ch 715,
PLUS we now get INHD & INHD2, and ALL Our Local RSN's in HD (YES-HD, SNY-HD, MSG-HD & FSNY-HD) Plus Starz-HD.
It is also rumored that we will be getting the Voom channels soon
The SA8300 HD-DVR is NO tivo, but it is usable and gets the job done,
Plus as Sean said its real easy to add a external hard drive, its simple Plug n Play. You cant do this with the HD-Tivo.
I have added a 250G external hardrive to me SA8300HDDVR and I now have nearly 50 hours of HD recording space.
I am Very happy with CV's HD offerings,
Mostly because they dont downrezz and you will see a noticable difference in HD Sharpness coming over from D* HD.
Just check out the Razor picture of tonights Met game on SNY ch 730. You will be Amazed by the Clarity and Sharpness,
this is the way HD should be!!! NOT what D* is calling HD :down
EVERYTHING will be PERFECT when Tivo releases the Series3 HD-DVR in a few months,
When this happens I probably will NEVER go back to D* :neener
