Now that I’ve got an HD TV, my old Tivo seems very deficient. I can’t record any of the HD signals, and the defects in the picture from the Tivo show up much more on the high-def screen.<\/p>\n
What to do, what to do? Tivo hasn’t said much about when they will introduce an HD version (other than the DirecTivo). <\/p>\n
Besides the Tivo, I’m missing the few programs that my satellite provider broadcasts in HD since my satellite receivers are only SD.<\/p>\n
The solution seems to be Dish Network’s new “VIP622” DVR. It is quite similar to the DirecTivo that Richard and Don (?) have in that it is a satellite receiver and DVR (like a Tivo) in one. Nice features are that it can record 3 HD or SD programs (2 satellite and one OTA — over the air), and play back to two separate TVs, all at the same time. It seems to have most of the features that I love on my Tivo, though I’m sure I’ll find things that I will miss.<\/p>\n
They are on back order, so it’s three weeks out. I’ll publish here after I get it with impressions.<\/p>\n
In the mean time, anybody want a Tivo with a lifetime subscription and upgraded hard drive?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
