DirecTV goes public with The 101 fall lineup {Engadget HD}
Sep 24th 2008 12:07PM I also looked last night and found that they have Friday Night Lights listed on the standard def version of the channel (239), BUT NOTHING on the High Def channel (101)!!! Why wouldn't they display it in HIGH DEF??? This is Directv's huge moment to shine with the show (which has been shown in High def for the past 2 seasons), why are they dropping the ball?
Poll: Do you still watch SD programming? {Engadget HD}
May 17th 2008 4:26PM Top Gear is my only show that I watch in SD (since the Brits haven't decided that they will invest in HD cameras for the show), and I record Oprah in SD for my wife, since her 18-20 episodes that she keeps on the TiVo would fill it up in HD (which is just upconverted SD anyways!!!). The wife doesn't know anyways and mostly they get erased and never watched.
Liberty Media's News Corp-for-DirecTV swap is done {Engadget HD}
Feb 29th 2008 12:43PM Do we get TiVo back now that Newcorp's out of the picture? Wasn't the only reason for the crappy DVR because they wanted to get their own sister companies boxes pushed onto the public?

DirecTV TiVo owners to get update in early '08 {Engadget}
Aug 1st 2007 11:18AM Nobody has mentioned the fact that when the new Satellites go up in September, all the new HD channels that they are promising will be in MPEG4 and be incompatible with the TiVo units..... thats the main debate for me!
Apple patents digital media reservation system {Engadget}
May 5th 2006 12:59PM Doesn't steve jobs always say that there is always "something great in the pipeline"? Don't we remember: year of the laptop, year of HDTV, upcoming amazing products..... dont get me wrong, I am a huge apple fan, but I held my breathe WAYYYYYYY too long for a G5 laptop (which never happened), etc.
I am happy that I now have a intelmac, but please steve, don't just tell us about new stuff in the pipeline, keep these new products coming!!! (macbook??? ;) Soon... please...)
TiVo and DirecTV make nice -- sort of {Engadget}
Apr 12th 2006 11:42PM What happened to just adding folders??? How hard would that be? I thought that it was supposed to come for the HD TiVo in April of 2005??? Is there a hack out there for that?
TiVo and DirecTV make nice -- sort of {Engadget}
Apr 12th 2006 3:25PM Can we not get a simple update to the full series two functionality for our HD TiVo boxes??? Sheesh, I am seriously thinking of jumping ship with DirecTV just because they have no TiVo interface with their new generation of DVR's. I tried using one of their new DVR's and the interface is archaic compared to the simple TiVo interface! Why can't DirecTV just issue new TiVo boxes as an alternative for their DVRs (I guess the profits werent enough for them??)
