    Yeah, that's right. I was just kidding about that card thing, but I met some guy who knew some things about them one time.

    Nice. You told TW yet? What was their reaction? You gots a bunch of trees in your yard. Do trees fuck up Direct's reception? I know they do in my satellite truck.

    when that Direct DVR breaks, how pissed are you gonna be to have to replace it yourself?

    Because me personally I don't have an extra $300 to drop on another DVR at random. For example I couldn't replace it at Christmas. Which means I miss Bowl games, NFL playoffs. With TWC I take the broke one down the street and leave with another.

    soon as direct comes off the ridculous hd-dvr box price, I'm switching. I'm just not paying $200 or whatever for something TW and dish give out for free.
