Directv has satellite internet, its just expensive and you cant use it for gaming because of the lag times and I think at best its like 1.5 mb for $70 a month.
I paid $399 for the tivo so I own the damn thing despite it being worth squat here shortly..bleh..although supposedly I'll be allowed to upgrade to their new HD DVR but I wont own it and it wont be Tivo based. $5.99 for the tivo service which is awesome consideing SA tivo service is more than twice that, $9.99 for the new "HD Access Fee" which covers all the HD channels that I can get. The satellite thats up was free.
Im only paying more than you because I have an HD Tivo, and if you went and got a new Series 3 HD Tivo youd be paying $799 for the box and $12.95 a month for it..so HA. And Im sure if your cable company has their own HD DVR, youd pay at least $5.99 a month and it wouldnt be dual tuner like the HD Tivo I have.
My total bill isn't even $65 even though Directv just raised rates like $2 again. I have what used to be Total Choice Plus with HD and DVR.
Actually, they are around 599 shipped. And most of the DVRs are dual tuners for the cable companies as well. You knowledge fails you once again!
