Yeah my biggest issues with going to sat would by having to buy a dvr, having to buy at least 2 more receivers for 2 tv's that I use, that doesn't account for...

... Yeah, I noticed around the time the UT game was on, there was an ALTVS ch 471. Both worked for me at the time, but i noticed earlier this week 471 was...
Not sure where you are looking there. On DishNetwork the dual tuner HD DVR is free, as are the extra 2 receivers. The extra receivers do have an ongoing cost...
... Generally, same here. I think mine was down a couple of times for 20 or 30 minutes, but it was on those times when it was raining astoundingly hard. The...
But it does go out "sometimes" if it rains. The only time I ever have a cable outage is if the power goes out. Honestly I've never priced Dish, I just look...
I've had TW customer service people blame rain for bad reception. They use dishes too. _____ From: cable@yahoogroups.com [mailto:cable@yahoogroups.com] On...
Well now you've got me checking their websites to do some comparisons. A few questions that I have that the websites don't address: - One thing the TW has that...
The "rain fade" thing is mostly FUD spead by the Cable companies. It was something I was concerned a lot about at first too before I switched over. As long...
I find their response about "there is only so much spam they can catch" hilarious. GMail manages to catch pretty much 100% of my spam and never marks...

I took the plunge and got a Tivo HD. I'm aware of the SDV issues, but when I look at all of the programs I record, they're all local hd channels. So, I'm not...
... Apparently you have not yet fully developed the "TiVo mindset", where one no longer cares nor needs to know channel numbers or time slots, because the TiVo...
... NBC is 1521, not 1512. Was that a typo? Did you do a channel scan? Did you then select 1521 in your TiVo list of channels that you receive? I have no...
... If you are in a location where you can get the OTA signal reliably, then I agree that this is definitely the way to go. The HD tuners, scalers, and other...
That's probably a typo on my part, but I'll double check back home. I ran the base setup (antenna/cable, no cable card, Austin area) and it showed the 1500...
Thanks to both for the feedback. I have no issues with ota reception, but I hadn't realized that there would be a quality difference. -Stephen ... cable-fed ...
