Help! I guess that I have to start this off by saying that I'm one of those annoying tivo users, who really had no incentive to switch. I have two DirecTivo's, and a standalone, and I live near NYC so I get my WB and UPN off the bird.
I was browsing through a Best Buy though, and saw that they had a Showstopper open box (just the unit and powercord) for $150. I started talking to the salesman, and he eventually dropped the price 30% more, so I got a 30 hour Showstopper for $104 + tax.
Since I work at Radioshack, I was able to find the new RS 15-2104 remote and program it to control the SS, plus I have tons of cables from every place, so that's not the problem.
Where I run into difficulty is deciding what to do with the SS. I don't have a spare Directv box to hook it into, my antenna channels come in really fuzzy because of the WTC antenna problem, and I can't figure out how to display my DirecTivo output, even though it's plugged into the Line inputs.
I can always give it to a friend, or my sister, but I was wondering if there is anyway to use the SS to store programs off of the DirecTV, as well as occasionally use it for a three channel conflict?
If so, how can I do this?
