Oh I almost forgot. Dish just bought the entire slingbox company. I wonder what lies ahead with that acquisition? ---

I’m a little late… But yes you can split your OTA feed. I have a pair of “silver sensors” in the attic, running to a 1 - 3 splitter. Each of the three recievers are fine with this. And, no, it’s not $20/mo per reciever. I have to 622s and only pay one $20 fee. …and, I’m curious about sling box too. any update? ---

I just pulled my original dish paperwork out and I signed up 11/15/06 with an 18 month contract so I’ve got about 5 months left. That puts me past the end of the Sabres season, at least the part that I have to worry about MSG, so I guess over the summer if they don’t get the MSG HD feed I’ll be switching to DTV. Just glad I won’t have to switch to TW to get Sabres in HD next season. :tup: I was looking online and noticed that it doesn’t appear the DTV HD DVR box has the dual tuners like 622 at Dish does. It was showing I’d need 4 receivers to get 4 rooms as opposed to the 2 I have with Dish. ---

But regardless, Dish Network needs to get their shit together and get that channel or they will be losing a lot of the WNY market. ---

Yeah, my 622 actually has 3 tuners and I can record on all 3 at once. Sat 1, Sat 2 and antenna 1. I’ve actually had all 3 red recording lights on a few times too. It looks like a christmas tree when you do that. 3 reds = recording 3 shows. 1 Yellow = power 1 green = tuner 1 1 blue = tuner 2 ---

> [@JayS](#): > > $90 for TV (dish 250 + DVR + HD. 4 rooms) > $30 for Internet (TW) > $30 for unlimited phone (Vonage) > > $150 after tax. And unlike when I had TW for TV my DVR works, doesn’t lock up, and doesn’t require me to unplug/reset it ever 2-3 days and doesn’t have the huge list of stupid bugs like the TW box. > > Does the TW DVR still jump to the end of a show if you start watching it from the DVR while it was recording? Probaly but that is not TW code. What you see right now on buffalo division systems is Sara and SaraC(Ocap boxes) which is Scientific Atlanta’s Resident Application it has buges that are like 6-7 years old that SA’s still has fixed. The is one major reason for TW working towards rolling out the TW Navigator, that and marketing reasons of having a seamless interface at all sites. The new stuff is great but it is not perfect yet buy a long shot which is the reason why it hasn’t been rolled out in masses. With that being said it is still leaps and bounds above SA’s bs interface. ---

VZ does charge much higher lease rates for there settops but they have multiroom systems, damn them for using a Motorola Headend and settops… TW is stuck with SA crap. ---

I am having TW installed tomorrow (employee i get it for free so why not) but i have DirecTV now and the long and short answer is fat chance in hell. and 100 bucks they have wanted 200-300 lately for the hd dvr units. I have heard of people being able to find the right cs person to bitch to and get upgraded for free. ---

Woah kudos to DTV for getting the hd feed for sabres. That offically makes me envious of DirecTV subscribers superior hd lineup and sabres in hd are ++. If i wasn’t a TW employee and not getting service for free I would definitely be staying DTV and wining my way into a deal for a dtv hddvr. Jay if you do go DTV be careful on the HD-DVR reciever you get, the one they seem to be shipping now and selling in the store (HR21 which is colored glossy black) has not OTA spot since you prefer OTA you want a HR20 box. Not sure how many if any local hd’s DTV carries.
