OTA still only gets you broadcast network programming. There's a lot more
to what people want to watch than just what's on OTA stations. I'm sure
there's a segment of subscribers that will have to make budget choices, but
variety of programming won't be their prime motivation.

Agreed. You should see what's on at 3am in Dallas. Paid Programming
everywhere except the PBS station which plays the same thing day in and
day out. Pretty pathetic really.

There's lots of things on at 3am in Dallas at my house. Tonight at 3am
I've got my choice of about 20 movies, sports, dramas, comedies, etc. and
anything else during the week I haven't watched already. When you can
record more than 2 shows at once (6), there's always something on worth
watching. Cable and sat is for suckers.:-)

I was talking about OTA broadcasts, obviously. My new 73" tv is on order
and I'm sure it'll look great with the HDTiVo

You're going to buy a Tivo-HD for recording OTA in DFW? There's a much
better and much cheaper way. I've been recording HDTV here for years. I
wouldn't use a Tivo-HD if it were given to me. It's just too limiting. See
Tivo HD/S3 compared below. Give me a call or email if you have questions.

It would be nice if Wes took his Trolling Lies about Myth TV to a
newsgroup appropriate for those that have the time, money and patience
to mess with it.

Instead of moronic flaming, it might be better if you listed the "lies" LOL

I only see one lie here, and it's yours. So now that you've called me a
liar, why not prove it with something I've said about MythTV that isn't
true. I know you can't. Just want to see what kind of BS response you have.

You've stated several times that you do not push MythTV
in this newsgroup. I don't know of anybody other than
you that regards that as true.

You've been wrong on many occasions - I don't regard most of those as
lying, just wrong, like all of us are on occasion. You just happen to
be wrong here more often than most, since you have basically no
experience with a subscribed TiVo.
