    its my understanding that DirectV's equipment is the worst to get to work for this, that you should use another box to get this to work seemlessly... which do you have theirs or someone elses?

    I have their HR21...and have no problems at all.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    I thought aside from their regular box you had to have a InDemand box...
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Nope
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Hmmmm.... and you are referencing that WHOOOOOLE LARGE USLESS monotenous list of indemand crap you can dl to your dvr right? A friend of mine has a separate indemand box in addition to the dvr, the HR21 didnt just do it...

    Hmm - ok, so somebody might need to go 101 on me...I don't get it - what is this supposed to do?

    Too many words - where are the pictures? Don't they have this in graphic novel format?
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    they had a picture of a guy giving the middle finger to cable, but they pulled the picture and diagram of it...
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    It's probably for the best that it is not in graphic novel format, because if it was I'm sure Hollywood would attempt to make a movie out of it.

    LOL

    On Demand?

    You download shows and watch them...ON DEMAND :)
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    That's too demanding...
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Actually if you have a DVR, press menu and Indemand option, in que you will have a little movie about it all... its only 5 min, and it was tyhe first thing the writers got to getther and wrote once the strike ended... its a cute little film...
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Its like a menu of tv shows and movies you pick from. its like pay perview but no addtl pay, and its a library of movies or show you choose, they then download to your dvr and you watch them when its done...
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Right, some of them are free, some of them aren't some of them are in HD as well.

  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Ugh :)
  • ScottyDub · 1 year ago
    Wouldn't it be nice if my DVR had wireless capability? As opposed to requiring another device. Now that would be nice.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Yeah but then they cant get you to buy their extra box I say you need that Mo doesnt...
  • ScottyDub · 1 year ago
    Well, even MO says you need something more, in this case the a router, etc. My question is why? Isn't it enough there getting my $350 for NFL Sunday ticket?
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    I'm not saying you NEED more, you just need to hook it up to your home network. If you have it close by, then you just plug it in.

    If you don't, then you need to do more.

    I guess if they did it over the satellite, that would be easier, but I don't think they have the bandwidth for all that.

    It's really not THEIR fault for this...it's something the offer for free, if you want to use it, you gotta hook it up to the net.
