MythTV / DirecTV possible solution *FOUND*
Hrm.. It would seem I was partially incorrect. DirecTV USED to have a DirecTV/Tivo HD box named the HR10-250. They dont make them anymore, I'm looking into the differences between the capabilities the HR10-250 providers. It can aperently be hacked as easy as any other Tivo, and hence, get it's data out which I could then 'migrate' over to the MythTV setup. *cackles with insane glee* Thomas ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Scratch that. Would kinda work, but can't record the majority of the new HD content beng broadcast from DirecTV's new sats. Guess I just leave 'em at low def and cry.

Worthless. the HD TiVo box that DirecTV sold only supports premium HD content and will NOT support DirecTV HD Local channels. They are encrypted in a different way (mpeg4) that the HD DirecTiVo can never support due to hardware limitations. On Nov 8, 2006, at 2:15 PM, Thomas Charron wrote: Hrm..

Yea, I was hoping that wasn't the case. Sounds to me like someone fubared hen they made these to only support MPEG2 when they where launching sats which trasmitted MPEG4. Unless, of course, DirecTV wanted to set them up so they could move away. ;-) Thomas ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

They have since been forced by the customer base to support existing DirecTiVo units until 2008 since we all love the TiVo interface. :) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: MythTV / DirecTV possible solution *FOUND*
Sad part is, if I had a choice, I'd go with Tivo or some other solution. But with no choice, all I can do is complain and eat their PVR solution for HD. I'd rather have something I dislike then nada at all.

Unfortunately, most of their customer base does the same thing. If everyone said, No, I'm the customer here -- give me what I want or I'll cancel the service, you can bet they'd change their tune in a hurry. But most people are either too ignorant, too apathetic, or too convinced they can't fight the system. Maybe satellite TV subscribers should form some sort of union -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
