    >> Are you absolutely sure you want the THR22? << No, but must have 1 unit with S-Video. What would you suggest? >> It is TiVo software running on an old DirecTV platform (the HR22) which is much slower than current models. And the TiVo software is very limited, it does not have any of...

    I cannot figure out which HD satellite dish / LNB to purchase

    WOW ! Thanks coolman302003. I'm not sure I need to keep my old legacy TiVo working. If I can buy one new HD Tivo with S-Video Out, I can get all new equipment. I contacted and Weaknees, They told me such a unit does NOT exist. However, when I look at pictures of the back of a THR22...

    >> Depending upon where you are << Dallas TX >> you want either a 3 or 5 lnb, and a Slimline dish << OK, I saw those on line. Can I use a "SWM" ? Is a Slimline always a SWM ? I need to be able to also receive a signal to operate one, legacy SD DirecTV TiVo unit. Should I buy a 3 or 5...
