Hello --
I am very new to satellite/PDR's so I have a few very basic questions I was hoping someone could answer.
I just bought a new house and plan to install DirecTv service next month. I have two standard, no frills television sets and plan to buy a HDTV within the next 3-6 months.
I recently bought a Philips DSR6000 DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service. But, other than that, I have no other equipment (as I haven't even selected a DirectTV reseller yet).
My questions are:
1.) In terms of getting my DirecTV system installed in my house, are there any good DirecTv/Tivo plans that anyone can recommend? Is there anyone in particular I should buy the system from?
2.) Are there any low-cost Tivo receivers that anyone could recommend as well? I plan on watching it in the bedroom but I don't think I will need anything beyond 20 hours recording time and I don't have any special stereo system or Tv hooked up to it.
However, I am also interested in the new Tivo option which will allow my to record one show and watch another on the same TV. Will my Phillips receiver get that capability (ie only a software upgrade) or will I need to buy a new receiver? Is it better I wait for that option?
Thanks for taking time to read this - I'd appreciate any help.
Regards,
Kyle
