I was an early adopter of HDTiVo also. I believe that D* will make it right for their users. Especially the high-end users that are willing to spend nearly $1000 on a piece of equipment. I believe the transition away from MPEG2 will take a very long time and I will get all the service I need...
Yeah, I got a bunch of perks when I got HDTiVo. I was an early adopter and got my HDTiVo over a year ago. I got it from CC and then called into DTV to get some perks. They gave me $20 off of platinum service for a year, free HDNet ($11/month) for 6 months, $200 service credit, and they came...
The original HDD reported in most xboxs is a bargain-basement 5400RPM with a 2MB cache of various flavors. The primary load on the HDD would be for backed up games and compared to the access time and bandwidth of the DVD-ROM, any ATA100 HDD is going to greatly outperform it. For multi-media...
I'm sure that someone will argue with me, but I've modded 4 xboxes (xboxi?) and have used 7200 and 5400 RPM alike with no issues and only one of them had an 8MB cache. All are working flawlessly. The 7200 RPMs tend to generate a bit more heat, but never to the point of making an issue. I...

Dump the phone company completely and go with Vonage for $25/month with 500 minutes of LD included... After that it's $3.9/minute. Need a TON of LD minutes? Go for $35/month plan and get unlimited LD to US and Canada.
Cool deal! I picked one up and found a couple other goodies at good prices. The Capcom Coin-Op Collection is a deal if you were a Ghosts & Gobblins fan...only $4.99 Link And Sim Coaster is up for $4.99 too.
Blockbuster is going the way of the DoDo. I've been with Netflix since mid-2000 and I'm still in on the 4 for $19.95/month deal. I realize I've given them over $840 in rental fees over the 3 1/2 years I've been there, but I've also rented over 450 discs from them. That runs the price to...
There is a cancellation fee of $40. Keep that in mind if you try out the service and think you may not want to keep it. I have had vonage for 6 months and wouldn't give it up for anything. But there is a "hidden" fee for cancellation. To date, I've saved $120 over Qwest, not including the 2...
I've certainly had some good luck with the newer eMachines. The T2080s are based on an ECS L7VMM mobo with a crippled eMachines BIOS. A quick flash upgrade from the ECS website and you have a respectable AMD 2000+ system with 266MHz DDR, a VIA chipset and 4x AGP all for under $400. I've sold...
I called the provided number and the program seems to be available. You do need to be associated with one of the schools in the program. George Mason being one of them. I told them I was from a different school that is not in the program so that was the end of that call. The rep did tell me...
If dell honors some and not others it is NOT part of "Bait & Switch" or even a loose definition of it. If Dell delivers for some and not for others then Oh Well. Here's a dose of reality, as bad as all of the weak-minded masses would like to have life be fair, Life is NOT Fair!
You haven't...
We've only had 1 person post who has received an actual cancellation. It's just too early to tell if Dell will cancel all of the orders. I do believe that Dell has the right to protect itself from price mistakes as they state in their terms and conditions. I do not believe Dell is into shady...
Here's to crossing your fingers...
10:00 AM MT - Placed Order
11:30 AM MT - Credit Card Authorized
12:00 PM MT - Received Order Acknowledgement
12:01 PM MT - Still Crossing Fingers
Whew... I got through about 30 minutes ago... just before the end. I haven't received either confirmation e-mail yet. I just hope it goes through! This deal is awesome!
You do NOT have to keep the DirecTiVos hooked up to a telephone line. Period! They are just like other DTV receivers. If you do a lot of PPV you'll eventually fill your card and it will refuse to authorize any more PPVs until the unit can call out.
For those that don't believe me, a person...
The Series 2 DirecTiVos (HDVR2 and DSR7000s) will complain once a week after 14 days that it has not been able to make a call. It doesn't stop your receiver from working, it just posts a message to you once a week..
This reminds me of some of the earliest scams on the net. Spam would lure people into sending a $20 or $30 money order to Canada promising a job for a Canadian advertising firm that wanted to mass-mail people in the United States. The basics were that the company would send you a piece of...
Verizon has great service where every I travel. I've been with AirTouch/Verizon for many years and the coverage and customer service can't be beat. As others say, YMMV in your locality. Talk to friends in the area to see who has truly good coverage.
A couple of observations while using...
Wow ringzero, that's a bad run of luck on the hardware. I've had great luck with Belkin hardware, but I've only gotten one item through the direct refurb deal (USB NIC) and it works just fine. How did Belkin take care of the DOA equipment? Did they cover shipping and replace the product or...
A number of refurbished Belkin products are available directly from Belkin HERE.
TiVo Supported Belkin USB Wireless NIC only $22.49 HERE. Shipping is $7.50 to Denver and tax is not charged (YMMV).
The Belkin WAP is going for $40.
Numerous cheap cellphone accessories HERE.
USB & Firewire...
Absolutely! Any TiVo currently in production can very easily be upgraded for capacity. Check out The TiVo Community for full upgrade instructions. Series 1 DirecTiVos can be hacked (with a little linux knowledge) to extract video. Do NOT ask about that on the TiVo Community boards, search...
The Citibank Click Card was an awesome cash rebate credit card. It earned 2% cash back on all purchases monthly for the first year, 1% after that, and up ot 3% during different promotions. No minimums and no annual fee. Unfortunately Citibank terminated that program about a year ago and...
Quick product report:
I ordered one of the PC Cards and it arrived in a week to Colorado. Following advice in this thread I didn't try to install the card in XP with the included disc and went with the d/l drivers. All was up and working perfectly after on reboot on a IBM 600X under a fully...
Sounds like a great deal! Orbitsat was great to work with when I bought my system. Fast too. My folks decided to step up to DTiVo a few weeks ago. I helped them order the system on Saturday night, they received the equipment on Wednesday, and it was installed and working Thursday morning...
I think the image comparison is much more stark than composite versus s-video. Through the lazyness of comcrap, they've never disconnected my cable service though I cancelled 2 years ago. (Not that it matters, since I don't watch it) Occasionally I'll be flipping video modes and catch a few...
aperry,
The value of a programming package is based on what an individual wants to watch. For me the AT50 had a few things I wanted, but was missing a lot of channels I really wanted. I should have qualified the AT50 statement with YMMV. I think the bottom line is that both Dish and DTV...
Call DirectTV and ask for the Friends and Family DVR deal to get a DirecTiVo installed for $159! You can do it through the website with a promotion code that has been posted on tivocommunity.com. (I'm not supposed to post codes here, right?)
Oh, I just looked up the 4-room deal on dishnetwork.com. To compare apples to apples, I've had both services and they both provide very similar packages. The America's Everything Pak with locals is the equivalent to Total Choice Premier. The price difference is $2/month to Dish's favor...
Yeah, you can check out orbitsat.com... They're offering 4 room install (DSX5500D-4, without the DTiVo) for $0.00. A single room DTiVo system for $69.95 (DSR-7000D) They also list a 4 Room (DSR7000D-DSX5500-3) deal with a DTiVo for $199. (Remember, you own the equipment) Probably the best...
