Dish Network comes through with a big slap in the face

^ Ugh… they dropped the OTA port on the HR21. Idiots.

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.

:word:

My wife called me up to the room one day thinking that something was wrong because there were all these red lights on the box. lol.

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.

They carry all of them minus CBS cause LIN broadcasting sucks balls

Umm have you looked at FiosTV pricing? It is about spot on with TW’s and they do bundling like TW does. 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.

no fios here yet, plus the TV will not be implemented until late next year.

Sometimes its better to pay a little more for quality.

You couldn’t pay me to get TW TV.

You will not get an HR20. We do not stock them anymore and they have already been completely phased out. I wish we did still have the HR20’s but they will soon be a thing of the past anyway. The HR21 is the better HD DVR, just nobody knows it yet. Wait until more people start to use the On-Demand. But it is very hard to tell a customer that they just paid $299 for a receiver that has rendered their OTA useless. But still you could not pay me to switch, I love My DirecTV, DirecTV>*

May need a sub to read here http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=106995

But there is hope I think, you may see DTV offer some sorta OTA USB tuner I’d imagine.
