There's the member referral https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/wiza....15_A&_DAV=5&_dynSessConf=9075777037003584505 but probably too late for that now.

I can't wait to hear your opinion on D* PQ vs E* PQ

 

[Rey]

i will definitely let you know

You won't be disappointed! The DVR's are a little slower, but Customer service and all the HD ,makes up for that.

And the speed varies as well with each update. Sometimes a firmware update will speed up the DVR to where its response is almost instantaneous. Other time the opposite occurs. This last firmware update seems to have really slowed down my DVR.

I just bought a Hughes Tivo SD DVR, off Ebay. I hear they are fast and just better all around then the R15 and R16. If thats true, D* better pair up with Tivo again.

I'd recommend trying tonights or Saturday's CE download, all the HD DVR's are one available and if it's like last weeks you should be happy with the speed improvement.

I'm Too scared. I seem to have bad luck at the worst of times.

So try it, if you don't like it just do another forced download outside the window and you're back to the national release.

Is it Tomorrow night too? Maybe I will try it.

Due to the 4th on Friday, this weeks is tonight and Saturday, CE testers get Friday off for a change.

Saturday nights Ok.

 

[jcrandall]

This would be an excellent CE to try Saturday night. It s a strong canidate to be the next national release and very stable.

 

[Rey]

i might try this tomorrow night to with my new hd dvr.

 

[Rey]

is there a verizon discount for $10 a month for 12 months or is that bs?

I don't know why anyone would buy a TIVO DVR at this point, seeing they do not do any MPEG4 processing, you only get about 10 HD channels if that.
Unless of course your plan is to use it for OTA only.

Personally, I prefer one machine to do everything I need
Only way you'll see D* together with TIVO again is if they BUY them.
