I have 2 HD DVRS and 2 standard digital boxes on 4 TV's with DirecTV.


I'll start with #6. YES, you need 2 cables to the DVR box to#record 2 channels simultaniously or to record 1 and watch 1.


Regarding #3 & 4, I have Embarq's medium speed DSL which comes in on a phone line to a modem. I have WiFi for my 2 computers, 1 desktop & 1 laptop.

I don't think there's any signifant loss of speed that anyone would notice, UNLESS you want to play games with complex graphics on the screen.

Can't help you with the YES network as I'm a Milwaukee Brewer fan and I did buy the MLB ticket for the last half of the season (pretty reasonable I thought). I also have the NFL ticket BUT keep in mind for HD and most of the other specials like watching the "game mix channel" that are advertised with the Ticket, you must buy the SuperFan package.
