Ahhh, don't say that. I use a Verizon MiFi for our home's internet access and i've noticed it getting slower lately since when we first got it about a year ago. At that time, we moved away from WildBlue satellite internet as that was about useless as far as throughput. I'm not left with any other choices! (no cable or DSL here).
I have created my own DVR using a Windows PC with a couple of capture cards that are hooked to two DirecTV receivers. The PC output goes to a television. In this way, I have a harddrive full of .avi and .wmv files of recorded television shows and movies. I can burn them straight to DVD, or use Windows Media Player to sync them right to a Microsoft Zune player, Creative Zen, etc. to take on the boat.
But...they are all standard-definition. Haven't upgraded to High-Def yet, as I don't have a Hi-Def TV (yet)!! I have to do some home renovations before my wife will allow it!
