Thanks for all the comments. My neighbor owns the Hughes and the recording is awesome!! I just prefer the Sony guide on my HD receiver. I have been reading about the Hughes on Tivocommunity.com and some folks have been having trouble with hard drives dying. I'm still undecided on dropping such a...

Anyone heard anything about anyone building one of these units besides Hughes???? I was hoping Sony would come out with one and heard a rumor about a Sony HD Tivo with 7 tuners and 50 HD hours of recording time. Any truth to this????

Thanks Gary!! I have called Sony. I'm outside the year warranty, but the article says they will fix it anyway..I am waiting for the local service center to investigate. Thanks again..

Has anyone had problems with flickering on the Sony KP-65wv600? I have had this problem for a couple of months and appears to be getting worse.

I bought my 35 hour Hughes DirectTV/Tivo at Circuit City for $99. At the time there was a $50 rebate, which made it $49. I was at Circuit City over the weekend and they still have them for $99, if your interested. Check out their website at Circuit City.com. :)

Thanks for the advice everyone....I will give the video essentials a try.

Does anyone know where I can get the calibration tools and how much they will set me back???

It appears to me the quality is about the same with live TV and Tivo recordings on the HDVR2...I am recording TBS and USA plus my local channels. I suppose the compression is probably the culprit...I am getting my HD signals from a Sony HDSAT200 connected via DVI. I have been switching between...

Stephen, I am using the S-video output...Maybe Gordon is right about calibration. I have never been impressed with the video quality on the non-HD Satellite channels with this TV. Maybe I'm asking too much to want a decent picture on standard and HD broadcasts from the 16:9 format???

Gordon, where can I get the Video Essentials or the Avia. I have a Sony with an automatic convergence feature which they call "flash focus". I haven't done this for a couple of months. I will try this and see if this helps... I know a calibration would probably make a huge difference, though...

I bought the Hughes HDVR2 and it works OK, but the video quality is worse than VCR on SLP. Is there anything I can do to improve the video???? This unit has an option for 4:3 OR 16:9 ratio and I have it set to 16:9 for my widescreen. Is this affecting quality?? Maybe I am getting too used to HD...

Thanks for the rebate Robert!! That's a pretty good deal..;)

Thanks... I guess I should buy a regular Tivo until then...I think Best Buy is selling them for $199.

Has anyone heard if Sony will be offering an HD Satellite integrated PVR for DirectTV????
