The down side is I can't seem to get KU on my Mercury II. I could not receive any KU channels on X0. KU works find on 4DTV X4. Was wondering if all the KU channels had left G0.
I will let you know more about the Tivo once I have time to play with it more.

Re X0... assuming that by X0 you mean G10r (I'll never figure out this 4DTV speak), then they are coming in fine here on my BUD. Re the TIVO-HD, I'm curious what they charge per month on that unit? I have 5 TIVOs here, 4 of which are old series 1s which aren't subscribed, plus I have one of the TIVO/DTV combos, that IS subscribed, and I think it's about $5/mo. However I've read somewhere that the non DTV TIVOs are more than twice that fee per month. I'm almost at the point where I'd like to get a HD TIVO, but not unless the monthly fee is reasonable (and the $5 is just barely reasonable... not really). As an alternative to TIVO for HD, I've started using the EPG grid in TSREADER, which is really neat. Ie TSREADER is the program I use for FTA satellite with my
Twinhan card, and I stream video from it to my TV via a Roku. However TSREADER also works with my Air2PC ATSC card, and the local TV stations have a program guide along with the video, and TSREADER pops up a nice little program guide. To record a program, all I have to do is double click the program on the EPG grid and it automatically records it. Not as user friendly as a TIVO, but it works. I really miss TIVO though, with the HD stuff. Just wish there was a version that did satellite stuff, and had a reasonable monthly fee.
