Default Directv
I've had Directv for 10 years and I love it.
NFL package, MLB etc. So from 1000 miles from NY I can watch my JETS and METS.
I just bought a new Dell laptop that has HDMI.
I have two DVR boxes.
With free software from Directv, I can watch a prerecorded program on my PC.
I was able to watch a program I recorded on DRV 2 on DVR 1's TV. Pretty cool.
There was an inquiry concerning CinemaPlus. It provides on demand pay per view, on demand movies from premium channels (you have to subscrive to receive the movie) and some free movies that are usually very old. To use on demand you must connect your DR box to your internet connection. Not sure but Directv might charge $50 for a wireless bridge.
There is also some free programing. I have dwonloaded lot's of golf tips for example.
I bought my own wireless bridge and have my plasma TV and directv box hooked to the internet.
