AMIMON's WHDI wireless HD modules coming to netbooks and laptops {Engadget HD}
Nov 19th 2009 4:01PM This is cool, but I would hope it will transfer audio over this wireless HDMI connection. Otherwise you would still have to run a cable from your laptop for audio.

DirecTV adds "dual live buffers" to its HD DVR {Engadget HD}
Aug 26th 2009 2:51PM I think you mean 100 hours of HD, 1% out of 100%. But that is a lot using 3% of my drive for dual live buffers is no problem IMO. DirecTV is using more that already for recording top HD movies to your hard drive for use with VOD.

The national rollout began August 22, 2009. A small number of receivers will be updated at a time until the entire installed base has been updated.

"DoublePlay: This feature allows you to utilize both tuners on your HD DVR HR2x or SD DVR R22 when not recording. Just press the down arrow to activate DoublePlay for use of both tuners. Once activated just press the down arrow to switch between tuners. Both tuners will save up to 90 minutes. The background tuner will be deactivated after two hours if there is no user input from the remote. DoublePlay will also deactivate if a tuner is needed for a recording.
The “PREV” button works for the current tuner the background tuner will stay intact."

NFL is great, but it's only really on a couple days a week, and your team(s) only play once a week, and the whole season is only 14 games long?? (7 home games) How do these teams even make money?

DirecTV claims largest 1080p library, including all new HD VOD on the way {Engadget HD}
Apr 16th 2009 2:49PM You can actually do this already. If you go to List, then top movies, then select top movies again (folder) you should see a couple 1080p movies in that list. (mine only shows 2)
Those movies are actually already on your hard drive, they were recorded from satellite source not from the internet. This is how the other HD PPV movies were recorded and saved, so I am assuming the 1080p ones in this folder are the same. To know for sure if you pick one of those 1080p movies in this folder and if it says watch now, that means its already on your hard drive.
This only applies to the HR21, HR22, HR23 HDDVRs (I have an HR22-100).
