- The Sleeper - 10-07-2003
remember when everytime you wanted to change the channel, you had to get up and turn the dial?
yea, me neither
- Keyser Soze - 10-08-2003
so weird, what are you TIVOing?
so far i've season passed: Biography, Behind The Music, The Real World, Jimmy Kimmel, Howard Stern, and The Daily Show

:5: Tivo :5:
That's pretty much all there is to say
- HollywoodJewMoses - 10-08-2003
do not record everything at best quality, its stupid and you will waste all of your hours.
- LyricalGomez - 10-08-2003
I really notice no significant difference between best and medium quality
- Keyser Soze - 10-08-2003
you know what really blows though. you can't watch something else while something is recording. that really, really blows.
- Danked - 10-08-2003
You can't or you just can't figure out how to?
Cause I can! :5:
- Keyser Soze - 10-08-2003
wait. how?
- Danked - 10-08-2003
I don't know, but I was watching Joe Schmo last night, was able to flip channels during commercials, go back to Joe Schmo when I realized the commercials were probably over, rewind, watch that part of Joe Schmo I missed up to the next commercial, go back to the other channel I flipped to during the commercials, rewind that and watch it too.
Yay!

i think i need to have two TWO coaxial cables coming from my satellite, thus 2 signals. when recording 1 signal, you watch the other. unfortunately i dont think i have one at the moment and that sounds like it would involve me either climbing on the roof or calling directv over to install another cable.
- Danked - 10-08-2003
Yes, that's what Weird just said.
- Goatweed - 10-08-2003
I don't know much about satellite, but cant you just buy a coax splitter and split the signal in your house? If it's the same coax as cable, it should work - I split mine 4 ways.
- Keyser Soze - 10-08-2003
no, when you split a DirecTV signal it does not work, you need a direct connection from the satellite to the receiver. correct me if i am wrong. i have tried to split the cable before and it did not work.
- Weird NJ - 10-08-2003
A coax splitter wont work with satellite signals because the LNB can't handle the dual load. You need a round dish with 2 LNBs or an oval dish that points to 2 sats. You can get a LNB at Radio Shaq and install it yourself.
- Danked - 10-08-2003
Did you see what he did there? Shaq... like in the commercial.
- Weird NJ - 10-08-2003
So far I set up a season pass for Inuyasha and Joe Schmo. :5:
- Danked - 10-08-2003
