I finally got one of these damn things, been wanting one for a long time. Got a phillips with built in DirecTV reciever, man this thing just owns hard. I will never miss a show I want to see again.. and its all instant access.

In short TiVO = ownage

How much is it a month? They do still charge a monthly fee don't they? That's one reason I haven't got one yet.

My dad has one with like a 40gig hard drive or something. Direct TV, sony home theatre package. Man, i wish i lived at my dads.

I think you can pay a one time fee of like $400. Or $20 a month. It may have changed

5$ extra a month if you have DirecTV

I have had a Panasonic ReplayTV for a couple years now, I love it. No monthly fee hehe. I also hacked in a larger hardrive.

DVR's rock!

Hey Hamma,

I have a question about DirecTV, how fast does it change channels? I know with Comcast Digital Cable it is a good 1.5-2 seconds to change channels... That doesn't sound like a lot, but when flipping channels it is painful!

From what I can tell the rate at how fast the channel change depends on the digital box you have. My dad use to have an old RCA one when DirectTV first came out and it was slow as all hell....got a new Sony one and its lighting quick....almost no delay.

I want one too.

DirecTV is about 1/2 to one second lag time when changing channels.

I have DirecTV and Ultimate TV by microsoft. I never watch TV where I cant skip commercials or rewind in live broadcasts.
