We have the modem plugged into the wall but can’t figure how it communicates with the TiVo box across the room. We just moved so we no longer have the instructions and DirecTV is no help at all. Thanks!

No commentary but you can pretty much see how it all works together to access anything from anywhere.

All of my internet tv shows such as shows from Revision3 are downloaded on my PC automatically with Miro & I can watch them on the SageTv box or on Xbox Media Center on my hacked Xbox & they are automatically deleted within a set period of time to stop my hard drive from filling up.

Also all content from SageTV PVR & PC’s is accessible from anywhere in the world with my psp using the PS3 remote play feature.

SageTv Pc

1st Mainboard mobo
2.0Ghz P4
256mb ram
120GB Samsung XP BOOT, Kind of a waste a free space but it was a spare drive & Samsungs seem to last forever.
2x 250GB Maxtor IDE Drives Storage
Cheap Hong Kong ATA 133 card
Because the old mobo dosen’t see over 137GB
Hauppage PVR-150 TV Tuner card & Serial cable from a ReplayTv to connect pc to DirecTv for channel change.

XBOX

Slayers Evox
Latest XBMC Xbox Media Center
Maxtor 160GB FDB Hard Drive 7200RPM
Xecuter 2 Mod Chip & 40 or so games :)

Tivo.. NOT DVR
It DOES have a coax line in and out. I believe I can update the Tivo with the phone line by setting it to dial TIVO NOT Direct tv. I will find out and update on this issue. thank you for all your input.

Directv Hughes Receivers are Loaded With Features

When you commit to an extended service agreement with a satellite TV programming service they are going to give you the satellite TV system that you are going to be using to receive their programming with and just like any other home electronics components they are not all the same quality. While this might seem at first glance to be a great deal, if the system that you have breaks down after their short limited warranty is up, then you are stuck with it and it is yours to have repaired or replaced. All the while you will be paying for satellite TV service that you can’t receive.

So it is only prudent that you make sure that you include high quality equipment as one of your priorities when you are shopping around for a satellite TV service provider. DirecTV only uses Hughes satellite TV systems and components, because they come with a long standing reputation for quality and reliability that is recognized world wide. The more features and functions that are included in a satellite TV receiver, the more things there are that can malfunction and Hughes receivers are loaded with great common sense functions that you can always rely on to work every time that you use them.

One fantastic optional feature that you can have installed in your top of the line Hughes Executive receiver is DVR Powered by TiVo and this gives in instant slow motion replay capabilities, along with the ability to zip past annoying commercials at the simple touch of a button. With TiVo you can also stop any game or program at any time and start it right back up where you stopped it when you return to the TV set.

TiVo is a favorite function for the many sports enthusiasts that join the DirecTV family of viewers because they are the leading provider of premium sports programming in the industry. Caller ID lets you see who is calling before you interrupt your game, movie, or program by displaying the number on the TV screen with the touch of a button on your remote.

If you opt for one of DirecTV’s larger Total Choice programming packages such as their two-hundred and fifty channel mammoth Total Choice Premier package, you will definatly be using the custom menu feature that allows you to set up your own menu of all your favorite channels to conveniently refer to any time you turn on your TV set. The parental control function is fool proof and even a professional safe cracker couldn’t bypass it after you block out any channels that you want blocked.

With the program search function you can locate any movie or program that you are interested in, by simply entering it into the function by name, or the name of an actor in the movie or program. With the click of a button it appears on your screen with the date and time it is on. Give the recording button on your remote a click and it is set to automatically record when it comes on and you can even program the receiver to record a whole series of programs if you wish. All the functions on this attractive and solidly constructed low profile unit are easy one touch functions and you can find out more about Hughes receivers by contacting DirecTV online.

I have a TiVo series 2 DVR. How can i get better picture quality?

magast91 asked:

My tivo is hooked up to a 45 inch 16:9 aspect ratio tv. It is HD, and i’ve noticed that the main menu on the tivo looks fuzzy and not very good quality resolution. it looked better on my old cathode ray tube tv. some of the new features on the tivo, such as swivel search are good quality picture ( i mean as far as the menus and stuff goes) but the main tivo screen, and basic menus that have always been there look bad. is there any mods or hacks, or updates i can use to fix this? (note- my tivo is hooked up to a wireless broadband home network. it updates automatically and IS up to date.) thanks for your help!!!!
sorry. i should have made myself more clear. i’m not talking about the recording quality.i’m just talking about the tivo menu screens. and i’m using component cables. or whatever the red, yellow, and white ones are called.
aparently i’m still not clear enough. it’s not the video quality! it looks fine enough. i just mean that the menu (ie- tivo home screen, now playing, etc. ) doesn’t look that great. some of the newer added features like swivel search, their menus look nicer and crisper.
it has nothing to do with how the tv is connected. why is it so hard to understand!

Still Watching Cable? Time to Look Into Satellite Television With Directv!

All of us know the regular problems and hassles of watching cable television. Bad reception, low quality images, and all around bad programming are just some of the problems that most of us at one point were accustomed to. Well now you don’t have to be! Most of us already know about the breakthroughs in modern satellite technology (although if you don’t have satellite TV yet we will give you the benefit of the doubt!) that have allowed television to advance to the point of making cable totally obsolete. Now with HD (high definition) and programming packages of 50 channels to well over 250 channels, DirecTV offers the greatest selection and variety in television offered today. For a very low cost, even some of the most basic packages offer Tivo, DVR (Digital Video Recorder), and High Definition. With Tivo and DVR you can now watch your favorite television programs when you choose and rewind them and watch them over and over and over as many times as you like! Not to mention the ability to fast forward through commercials when you are in the mood to watch your favorite program straight through.



DirecTV has been considered number one in customer satisfaction for well over six years now. Their customer service is the best of any provider. Even with the most basic package DirecTV offers you customer service around the clock, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and three hundred and sixty five days a year (with three hundred sixty six on leap year)! Online or over the telephone you will always find DirecTV’s customer support to be a simple and pleasant process. All of DirecTV’s customer service representatives are very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and not afraid to transfer you if they are not sure on the answer. However, most DirecTV customers find that they need to call customer support very rarely or never. If you choose DirecTV you will be guaranteed the best service of any satellite provider!

DirecTV offers a wide variety of programming packages that cater to all different styles of entertainment. You may have heard of all of the different packages that include HBO, Cinemax, Sports Pack, Showtime, and Starz. These are some of the most popular channels offered in DirecTV’s packages but still just the icing on the cake, pretty much any channel you can think of is available in one package or another. All major networks are included so you will still be able to see your favorite shows that you watch on cable (if you are still behind on the times).



I guess the point I am making is that with all the options available for satellite TV today (including High Definition, Tivo, DVR, and all of the movie channels), cable doesn’t even compare anymore. Also, at the low costs of DirecTV, you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to get great satellite television anymore. Now people of all walks of life will be able to enjoy satellite television and all of the new DVR and HD technology with DirecTV. Check it out, you will see that cable is the way of the past, and DirecTV is the way of the future!

Looking at your Choices of Directv Hughes Receivers

David Johnson asked:


The satellite TV receiver is the heart of the total satellite TV system that you are going to get free of charge from DirecTV when you join their family of TV viewers and they give you the choice of several different models that they carry. What you will need in your receiver is dependant on several factors including the size of the Total Choice programming package, what type of TV programming you prefer and whether or not you plan on recording any of the programming that you are going to receive.

If you’re main interest is sports programming, then you might consider adding DVR Powered by TiVo to your receiver and with this you can then do your own slow motion instant replays along with a few other functions this feature performs including recording. Their base level entry package is possibly the most affordable entry level programming package that you will find anywhere and one way that they keep the cost so low on this package is by giving a Hughes Director receiver with this package.

It is a sturdy and reliable receiver just like all of the rest of the Hughes receivers that thy carry, but it doesn’t come with all of the features that their other Hughes receivers have in them, such as DVR and custom menu feature which you won’t be needing any way due to the smaller size of this programming package.

Their Hughes Executive receiver is the receiver that comes with their larger Total Choice programming packages and it has all the features that are needed to manage and make full use of the higher quantity of channels that come in the these packages. It comes with, or without DVR and you also have the option of getting DVR Powered by TiVo in this receiver. They have two models of high definition receivers and one is a basic model with limited features that you would use if you were getting a smaller programming package with their high definition channels added onto it, while the other is fully loaded with features for their larger programming packages.

The custom menu feature allows you to set up your own personal menu of only your favorite channels to refer to, so you can avoid having to sort through all the channels that come in their larger programming packages. Their Total Choice Premier package has two-hundred and fifty channels in it so you can understand how important this one feature is on a receiver.

If you are going to add one or both of their ultra-premium exclusive sports channels, then you should consider getting the DVR Powered by TiVo in your receiver, because NFL Sunday Ticket and NCAA Mega March Madness are two of the best and most unique sports programming channels that are available anywhere and your going to be seeing a lot of sports action that you will definitely want to save for later, so you can watch it again and again. You can find more information on DirecTV’s Hughes receiver by contacting them online.
