You don’t need the DVR for this, right? That’s fucking sweet, it’s my only beef with DirecTV. Not anymore!

Do you think when TW took over they just decided to fuck shit up?
Adelphia put about enough money into the system to keep it running the next day.
TW has dropped millions and millions into that shit system since they took it over. There are still some problem areas, but most shit has been rerun with new shit and their internet side has had quite a lot of money dumped into it…
If your shit is worse, its probably just a coincidence, goto [http://192.168.100.1](http://192.168.100.1) and post your signal to noise, downstream and upstream levels. My money is on your upstream being 55+

You DO need a DVR. The DirecTV HD DVR (aka HR-20). I would think the non-HD unit would be OK too.

That sucks that you can’t use the On Demand feature without having a DVR. Oh well, no biggie…

Release your death grip on your 10 year old VCR, join the rest of us in the present and get a DVR. It is by far the greatest thing ever invented for TV. I’d rank DVR and HD right up there together. I judge a product’s worth by what I would do if it broke tonight. If it was my DVR I’d be on the phone with Dish doing what ever was needed to get a new one overnighted to me. There are so many commercials in a 1 hour show now I never watch anything live.
Watching a 1 hour show in a little over 40 minutes \> wasting almost 20 minutes watching insurance and douche commercials.

I don’t even own a VCR. I don’t tape things. I have only a few shows I watch on TV so it’s not really worth it. I want the On-Demand for watching movies when I want, you know? I always seem to see a movie when it’s 1/4 of the way through or half way, you know? I will have to check with DirecTV and see how much the DVR would run me.

You say that now, but once you have a DVR and shows start fitting your schedule instead of you needing to fit theirs it’s easy to find good stuff to watch. You flip through the guide for a week on discovery and find all kinds of interesting stuff.
