Both TIVO’s are Directv receivers with TIVO built in. I’d **** to lose all the programs I’ve already recorded now that I’ve upgraded to a series 2. Anyone have any tips? Is it even possible?

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.

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.
