Too funny Stone !!! NBR will be installed on the 5xx series in December of 20??. Once the bugs are worked out, a software upgrade will disable this function because of the Tivo lawsuit.

This was my biggest reason for leaving Dish. Second was I got tired of rebooting my 811 and 721 and the third reason was I wanted an HD DVR (They wouldn't go lower than $599 for a 922 even though it became worthless 4 months later).

I now have the HD-Tivo (all nets OTA and, of course, NBR) and four hacked Tivos that allow me to do Multiroom Viewing, view pictures and listen to mp3s and download shows from the Tivo to my computer which lets me either burn to DVD or convert to .avi / .mp2 to watch TV on my cell phone on an SD card or play them on my PSP.

I so regret leaving Dish

How have you had a Series 3 TIVO for that long to have accomplished all this?

 

[stone phillips420]

series 2 tivos i believe allow all the functions mikew speaks of

 

[mikew]

I have a HD Tivo and four SD DirecTivos. The hacked DirecTivos are better than any DVR I had with Dish.

The Series 3 Tivos do not have MRV or Tivo2Go enabled at this time.

Scott, Didn't we have this same discussion in July? I have absolutely no faith in NBR on 50X ever because there is no revenue stream to E*. My current thinking is a trade in deal we can't refuse. Of course that will let the dvr fee kick in.

I don't value NBR enough to trade in my 508. I don't use my 508 enough for it to matter. But for folks that use it as their main DVR......
