Grant, I had originally purchased the F model, but after having it for a week and playing with it, went back and bought the S500. The S has MUCH better stretch modes, and has an all around better picture. Good luck!
The interface of the TIVO is MUCH easier to work with. The searching capabilities are endlessly better and you can add more room to the TIVO's if you want. Overall TIVO's just "prettier" and easier to use than the TWC DVR. Although, I did just switch back to cable b/c of the new HD DVR's...
So, I'm currently in a situation that many can only hope for. I currently have a DirecTivo AND TWC DVR. I got the Time warner DVR b/c they had a crazy good deal to switch from sattelite to cable. So good in fact, that I could get an HD box with my DVR(2 seperate boxes) and even though they...
Hi everyone, When I'm watching shows on like TLC or something, I get a lot of pixilation or just blur. Is it b/c the sattelite connection isn't feeding my TV a signal it can do too much with, or is there a setting i'm missing. I can't afford a HDTV box right now or a calibration. I've done...

I was in the SAME boat you are. I was looking at the exact same two TV's. I ended up getting the Hitachi. I love it so far. Direct TV is a little blurry, but i'm thinking it might be the Direct TV box or something. I still have a lot of tweaking to do. I think once this thing gets...
Well, I ended up getting the Hitachi 51F500. I got the F model b/c the S was about 3-400 more and I'm on a tight budget. I also had to buy a DVD player, and some pretty furniture to house all my stuff. I think that it's a good starters TV though. I"ll get the Avia disk and have hours...
Hi All, I've been reading the forum for about 3 or 4 weeks and i've learned SO much. I'm in the market for my first HDTV and i was most likely going to go Rear projection, 51". I was looking at the: Sony 51ws510 ($1999) Hitachi 51S500 (~$2299, maybe lower) I'm leaning mort towards the...
