    Ladder 49 PPV 170 Alert: NOT Dolby Digital

    Before you go and "set and forget" to record this on PPV 170, check that you're actually getting Dolby Digital before you walk away (it's an all-day ticket). If you don't get Dolby Digital (no audio at all on English 2), call (800) 695-9251. Read more about this issue here. This may only be an...

    DVR and Internet Phone Service - can it work?

    UPDATE: The TiVo wasn't consistently successfully connecting to "the mothership," so I made a serial PPP cable and connected it to a computer. Now I have a 100% success rate, of course. :)

    DVR and Internet Phone Service - can it work?

    For those whose TiVo works with VOIP, is the TiVo connected directly to your VOIP box, or is your box connected to your home's telephone wiring? I got frustrated with the TiVo not being able to complete the daily call for over a month, so I moved the Vonage box downstairs [temporarily] and...

    120 gig Tivo

    http://www.ptvupgrade.com/preorder/PTVnet.html or, if you provide the hard disk http://www.ptvupgrade.com/products/instantcake/ Finally, I can post a URL. Anyway, what you posted further confirms that DirecTV sends "whatever is in stock."

    120 gig Tivo

    Are you sure you don't have the 80GB (70 hour) model, SIR-S4080R? Regardless, I plan on eventually modify mine with a PTVNet mod (bigger hard disk, enables caller ID, enables USB ports).

    My first few weeks with Directivo, and I'm VERY happy!

    Only two days since the switch here, and there is no comparison. Soon I may get the PTVnet upgrade for my TiVO and put those USB ports to use.

    Vonage + Samsung TiVO

    Just as an FYI, when I got my DirecTV yesterday, it couldn't connect (at first) to get the TiVO updates. I fixed it by plugged a DSL filter into the TiVO and setting the dialing prefix to ,*99, (the first comma is a "just in case" for the voicemail tones). The installer noted that, as he had...

    Customer rentention works!

    UPDATE: When I called to cancel my Dish Network, I was transferred to the cancellations department. At that point, I was offered an additional receiver and installation at no cost. Of course, I already had DirecTV at that point. "How about we give you a month, sir, to compare?" "Just cancel...

    Customer rentention works!

    As of May 10th, I'll be a defector from Dish Network. I called and asked what I could get an extra receiver (for my kid's room) for, and they said around $200, or $100 less if I signed up for a two year commitment (I've been a customer for a year and a half). "This is the only offer we have now...

    Best Way to Set This Up

    I made a typo twice; I went back and made the changes. I guess I could use the RF output of the DVR and send it up to the TV in the bedroom. Does the RF output send a stereo audio output? If so, I could save money by hooking it up that way (and use the UHF remote). The other option would...

    Best Way to Set This Up

    I currently have a 510 and a 301 system. I got my system a couple of months before I got my tax refund, so I couldn't afford the HDTV-in-a-Box system at the time. I now have the RCA D34W20, which I believe is the same TV you get with the system anyway (I got mine in February for about $900). I...
