I have a ReplayTV 5080 that is still sealed in it's box. I have not cracked the seal because I am undecided on whether or not to keep it.
I previously had 3 Sony SAT-T60's (Directv receiver w/ TiVo) and had DIRECTV. However, at my new home just moved in this past weekend) I cannot get Directv signal due to a large row of trees (not on my property).
I'm able to get DISH NETWORK line of sight...and I'll probably go with them or AT&T Digital Cable. But, I can't freakin' decide
If I go with Dish - I can get the Dish PVR unit (508) and return the Replay TV 5080.
If I go with Dish - I can also decide against the PVR unit and get the basic satellite receiver they offer...and then connect my new 5080 to it.
But I'm worried about compatibilty problems between the 5080 and the Dish receiver (Ir blaster woes?) - but should I be?
I really like the broadband options on the ReplayTV 5080 - and this is why I purchased it the other night. I have a Broadband connection and also have a Linksys Wireless router. I would definitely want to pair the two together....but I may have to go the wireless route if at all possible. Maybe not for the current 5080 I own - but if I like it (5080) then I would more than likely buy a 5040 or another 5080 for our bedroom (for my wife) and the only way I would want to hook up this 2nd RTV receiver is so I could network shows (using a wireless connection).
By chance is the 5080 compatible with wireless networks?
Sorry for all the questions...i did go over the FAQ's but I saw nothing that might help in regards to what I'm asking. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
