The Sleeper · 10-07-2003, 09:43 PM

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, 12:09 AM

Danked · 10-08-2003, 12:15 AM

He is setting it up right now. I'm watching Rushmore. :-D

LyricalGomez · 10-08-2003, 12:20 AM

:5: Tivo :5:

That's pretty much all there is to say

HollywoodJewMoses · 10-08-2003, 12:42 AM

do not record everything at best quality, its stupid and you will waste all of your hours.

LyricalGomez · 10-08-2003, 01:05 AM

I really notice no significant difference between best and medium quality

Keyser Soze · 10-08-2003, 02:04 PM

you know what really blows though. you can't watch something else while something is recording. that really, really blows.

Danked · 10-08-2003, 02:06 PM

You can't or you just can't figure out how to?

Cause I can! :5:

Keyser Soze · 10-08-2003, 02:07 PM

wait. how?

Danked · 10-08-2003, 02:15 PM

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!

Keyser Soze · 10-08-2003, 02:17 PM

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, 02:19 PM

Yes, that's what Weird just said.

Goatweed · 10-08-2003, 02:20 PM

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, 02:26 PM

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, 02:37 PM

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, 02:46 PM

Did you see what he did there? Shaq... like in the commercial.

Weird NJ · 10-08-2003, 03:03 PM

So far I set up a season pass for Inuyasha and Joe Schmo. :5:

Danked · 10-08-2003, 03:04 PM

....and XPlay.

HollywoodJewMoses · 10-08-2003, 05:31 PM

Keyser Soze · 10-08-2003, 05:49 PM
