Who here has a Direct TV DVR?
I called and ordered one yesterday. There are coming out to install it tommorow. I was not aware that it required another line run from the dish to the reciever??? If you have one, how satisified are you with it??

I don't have it, but I do have TiVo. Now that it is hooked into my network, I'm pretty excited about that thing.

I like it.I dont have the second line yet though.It required a multiswitch and it costs $80.00 at circuit city.
the only problem i have with it is, its slow sometimes to catch up if you flip throught the channels quickly. good luck.

i have it
it tooks some time to get used to it... i've had ReplayTv before the interface for it is slow, and they didn't write the code very "use friendly" there are waaaay too many steps to do stuff ie 5 clicks when 2 would really suffice. if you have the option about which DVR unit you can get, i would suggest looking into a upgrade. i got the cheap one and i think a better one would be worth. i dont like how it has to upload crap every friggin day either. all that said, it's a good thing and i like it ... it's pretty reliable and i really like the Season Pass options. i added a 120 gig hard drive to it ... made a HUGE difference, 40 gigs just isn't enough.

What are the advantages of having a DVR system directly tied to your satellite/cable company as opposed to your own system like TIVO? With a 300.00 fee you get free recording for life. Seems to me that is the best route to go.

I have a Cox DVR and that thing rocks. I don't know why I waited so long to get it. I highly recommend DVR's to everybody.

They cost about 1/3rd of that. Pm me and tell me how many lines you have and I'll tell you what type of multiswitch you need. I can't imagine having tivo and not using all of it's functions.
