VOTE NOW - SATELLITEGUYS BEST OF 2011

[dewzan]

it's nice to be able to hit up DIRT almost anytime , with it's success i don't understand why Directtv doesn't do this also.

Short on tuners?

Gimme a break. Its one thing to have a good argument, but that one's pretty bad Hemi. Being angry or not liking Directv is one thing, but dont pass of that sludge post as other than anger.

1) HDGui - Groundbreaking? No. Overdue and looks good? Yes
2) Since the HR24, Directv has really been putting out some top notch DVR's.
3) HR34 - Until this, the Vip722k with OTA tuner was my top choice as a dvr. 722k was a $199 upgrade, and still needed another $40 spent for the tuner to get OTA channels. But, if you did not have OTA, you are still stuck with 2 tuners. HR34 gives you 5 all the time, whether it be 5 sat or 3 sat and 2 OTA, pretty damn cool.

IMO, Directv's only fail to Dish is the ehd implementation, Dish rules here. I see you are a cable sub now, enjoy it, but dont act like something you used to have is all of a sudden a poor service. Posts like that make you look bad.

And I will tell you the HR34 is far from a "POC".

I think the DIRECTV HR34 which has 5 tuners is better then the new DISH Hopper which only has three.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Scott I would agree, But 5 tuners to serve 4 or 5 rooms is sad,


And Elway
OTA 99% of the population doesn't give a crap about. And your telling me 4 rooms of HD DVR works just as good with 5 tuners to spread around then 8. Yea not sold!

This is not a new thing having whole home systems, been done for years by Cisco, and Motorola. Just because D* thinks they invented something doesn't make it a break through product.

And don't bring up my so called Anger toward D*. It doesn't take anger to disprove the hype between D* new clucky receiver, that when breaks your whole system in the house is down. Great, make sure you "PAY" for your protection plan. You'll need it!

I think I saw it at Hooters on the back of a Wet Nap package, that 72.3% of all statistics are made up.

Yea thats what I thought!

Lets hear why D* HR34 should win an award on satellite guys, what has this provided to the site, what has D* done for this site period.

Exactly! Dish wins .atleast they will show their face on satellite guys instead of using secret front men.

Its funny. 3 out of 4 of my family households in town record ota. Does that mean 75% of the country does...

 

[gadgtfreek]

Hemi, you win. I choose not to lower my iq anymore today.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

No it means out of 310 million only 3.1 million care about it.

 

[Rey]

nice to see you again Hemi

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I come in from time to time, But I couldn't pass this one up.

I still want to hear why anyone one on this site would give D* and award, DBS talk sure , But here???

 

[Hemi 6.1]

And I will tell you the HR34 is far from a "POC".

If you guys are Still forcing CE downloads , then its a POC. Again by 2017 it might be profected.

To be fair, DISH boxes don't normally work with all features correctly out of the box for quite awhile too.

True, but the basic function of changing a channel should! Makes me sick to my stomach using my Sisters HR 24, the Box that supposed to be fast. Yea what a break through!

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Again , I'm not here to fight about D* HR's thats old news, I just want a good solid answer at why D* deserves an Award. Its clear in the posts most members don't think so.

Again Wow and app??? LMAO!!!
HD Guide, wow can't say it makes a damn difference to many, can't say it was ever poor on the PQ scale to begin with.
And again OLD news real whole home HD DVR thats 2 years late to the party.
Lets hear the real prices on that upgrade, not the sugar coated 24 month promotional rates.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Congrats to DIRT! So many companies could learn from Dish Network's commitment to this program!!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]
