TiVO & DVRs

So is 1080i supposed to be better than 480p, 720p, or 720i?
Or is it just personal preference?

I'm looking for one of these. What would you recommend? Please answer only if you know about the new ability to record DVD's that can be read anywhere. I haven't got a clue and will pick your superior answer. Thanks for the help.

I love my digital HD cable, but I'm pondering a move outside the city where satellite will be my only option.

My question is this:

Do the satellite companies still require you to have a phone line connected to your receiver?

While I'm asking a question about satellite tv, your opinion on DISH vs DIRECTV would be appreciated. Keep in mind that getting HD channels (even local channels) is extremely critical to my decision.

Also, I will want to get my Internet connection from whichever company I go with, too.

So I guess there are really three questions in here:

1. Do the satellite companies still require a phone line?
2. Do you prefer DISH or DIRECTV, and why?
3. What about their Internet options?

Thanks for your answers.

I tried recording a program on my tv, but it didn't work b/c i don't have a DVR. It said i can record from my VCR. How do i do that?

I am using a scart connected TV, STB, VCR and DVD Recorder combination which in general works very well indeed, apart from one anoying problem.

If I am transfering a video tape to DVD, and press the still picture button on the VCR, the picture pulses up and down at about 2 frames/sec. Yet if I play the same tape and view without the DVD recorder being connected, the still picture mode is perfectly displayed with picture locked and stationary.

I have tried both RGB coupling and CVBS coupling with the vcr and get the same problem with both methods. Have also tried with the STB enabled and disabled. The fault definitely seems to some form of conflict with the DVD recorder, yet having said that, it records the movie with superb quality.

Any advice or good inspired guesses will be most appreciated..........Ron.

I want to setup a PVR that will capture Over-The-Air HD signals, and then send the sound and video to my TV in another room. What equipment do I need to accomplish this?

Does anyone know of a DVR - Digital Video Recorder - that does NOT need an extra service to function? By extra service, I mean a subscription to TiVo or other such service? Basically, I'd like a way to record TV shows to a hard drive in the same manner as a DVR/Tivo allows, watch them on my TV set, but without the complications of a monthly subscription and service, or program guide, or any of that. I tried it once and it just was a pain. But I find it difficult to remember to always be switching DVD-R discs in and out of my DVD Recorder. So I thought, if I could get a DVR and record to a Hard Drive like you do with TiVo, but without the fuss and muss of the service and programs... that would really be the best thing. I could record by timer recording, not worry about discs, and not have to deal with program guides and service subscriptions.

We're going on an extended vacation soon, and there are some shows that we just don't want to miss. A lot of shows actually! We're afraid that the DVR won't be able to record all of the shows, and so we were thinking of setting up some of the shows to be reocrded by the video recorder instead.
Which means, we will need to set up our HDTV box to our video mechine, then have it feed through to the viewing screen. So far, I haven't really figured out how to do this, and I'm really hoping to hear from someone who might have tried this themsevles and found out the right way to do this. Any help?

I have an old-school DirecTV Tivo that's on the brink. I'd like to buy an actual TiVo rather than a DVR from DirecTV, but in looking at their website it says you can't record two programs at once with satellite, only cable. I'm thinking since I already have the dual tuner coming from the dish, this wouldn't be true, but I would like to know if anyone else has successfully done this. Thanks.

someone asked me to video their wedding for them, at a reasonable cost, in the contract i am to give them 1 DVD and charge for any additional DVD's that they may request. I want to maximize my profits by making them come back to me for multiple DVD's. But the catch is that most people now have a dvd burner or know someone with a dvd burner. so I want to copy protect the DVD i give them, So that they have to come back to me to order more DVD's. Does anyone know how i can do that? or does anyone know of a programt that will do that for me?
