I've started looking at DirectTV to replace my digitial cable, and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. I was hoping some of you guys could point me in the right direction on some things.
To begin with, I really want HDTV programming in my main viewing room, but I also really want the Tivo service. I know these aren't compatible on the same receivers, but can I put two different receivers on 1 TV?
In other words, I was thinking about getting a HD compatible dish, a HD DirecTV receiver and a DirecTivo receiver. I wanted to put these both on the big screen TV, on different inputs of course, so that I could watch live HD content if I wanted or I could watch Tivo content at normal resolution.
I would also need a third reciever, just a normal one for the bedroom. No Tivo or HD in there.
Is this possible? Any suggestions on the hardware to purchase: I've seen dishes from RCA and Phillips, receivers from Samsung and Hughes, etc, etc.
Any help would be appreciated!
