So as it wont interfere with CBS's March Madness coverage or Sweeps in May.
I get 7 National Networks (ESPN/2, UHD, DHDT, TNTHD,HDNet Movies and HDNet) plus NBC and FOX from NY in HD for $10 + $6 for the HD Tivo fee (half the standard Tivo fee) plus the Tivo picks up CBS/ABC OTA in HD. Eventually directv is going to be adding more HD Channels but it gets tricky since they will be in MPEG4 format which wont work with my HDTivo which only can get MPEG2. Supposedly it will be a free/low cost upgrade to Directvs MPEG4 DVR (NOT TIVO) but no one knows. I luckily only paid $400 for the HDTivo last year, but some people paid $1000 for theirs when it first came out over 2 years ago.
