Subject: Okay, smart techno Harmylovers, I need help with two things.

To consolidate and to save money, I just switched to cable which includes my internet, tv, and home phone services. The savings was substantial, even when figuring in the sizable increase after one year. However I have two problems.

1. I no longer have the built in DVR that Dish provided. My family really liked this feature. I can "rent" one for $10/month or...I can buy one. I bought one once before and it was ridiculously hard to use. Can anyone recommend an easy to use DVR?

2. I have lots of local news coverage on my DISH DVR. I'd like to get the stuff off. Can anyone recommend or email me "instructions for technologically challenged" for me to do this?

I'd be ever so appreciative!!!

[> TiVo makes DVRs for cable, and the are super easy to use. TiVo is the standard by which I judge all other DVRs, and no others can top TiVo unless they use the TiVo model for their software. JMHO. -- JAG Junkie (Ronda)--tried a cable DVR once--it was frustrating. Went right back to TiVo., 16:23:58 09/25/11 Sun [1]

[> [> I meant no others can "match" TiVo. Not sure about your second question. Does it have an option to save to VCR or DVD? I remember saving something to a tape or disc for a friend a while back. Actually, if you have a DVD recorder or VCR in your entertainment system you should be able to do it anyway. In other words, have everything hooked up through a receiver. -- JJ (Ronda), 16:29:25 09/25/11 Sun [1]

[> TIVO!!!!!!!! I had Tivo for 4 1/2 yrs and LOVED it. Then we had to switch to digital and my Tivo wouldn't work. I HATE my DVR and I'm going to see if I can get Tivo back. My new DVR is clunky and easy to make mistakes. Tivo was reliable and never let me down. -- Cece...still mad after two months about having to give up my Tivo., 01:23:45 10/06/11 Thu [1]
