tune in to those channels that are the Premium Choice Channels that weekend and enjoy them FREE!!

Skinemax is impossible to watch after one or two movies - same actors, no plot, bad sex scenes.

Sounds like 99% of what Hollywood puts out in the last 100 years. Hitchcock is gone, Welles is gone, Kubrick is gone. Scorsesce last time? Goodfellas The Departed maybe. Spielberg Schindlers List Amistad.

Two or three movies a year worth watching. The rest are junk.

Unless you have a non TiVo POS DVR. They'll NEVER get those DVR's to work correctly!

Sounds like a personal issue to me. Our HR21-700 is now about 4 months old, and can't say enough good things about it. Can't wait for DirecTV to start offering more On Demand programming.

I have Comcast Digital Cable. Last time they did this I got them free as well though I get HBO and Showtime anyway. I watched Max all weekend for free. Others on a similar thread to this said the same.

I've got the R15 (the new DVR non-HD) and it works, but i'm with everyone on how slow it is and the poor menu navigation system.

free channels are nice though.
