My dad got it from a D-TV employee so it was probably illeagal for us to have...I wonder if employees get one of those cards...

There is a market for this stuff, it might be small, but it's there.]]>Jun 19th 2006 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
For $7,500 per year, I'd have to call BS on that one. That's one heck of a loss just to have a guy--dressed in true concierge form--drive out to your place at your whim 24/7.

Dirty? Says who? ;) ;)]]>Jun 19th 2006 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/


...as was pointed out earlier, this actually wouldn't be such a bad deal for a big sports bar. Frankly, I wouldn't be able to handle all the choices - I think I'd probably throw the whole package out the window during the first week due to the frustratingly large amount of time it'd take to scroll through the options.]]>Jun 19th 2006 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/

And anyone who spends so much money on programming they will never see isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch.]]>Jun 19th 2006 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
Looks like a good deal for a frat house, or people with lots of roomates.

That's less than $70 a month per reciever.]]>Jun 19th 2006 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
It's definitely worth the dough if you have a sporting bar or the like, and I can see something like this going into those places as well, with higher tag. DirecTV Platnium Pro.

Or some Pro tacked on to it.]]>Jun 19th 2006 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
and since it likely wont include local channels - do they still charge you an extra $5 a month for local channels if you are already paying $7500 a year for the service?]]>Jun 19th 2006 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
It's so fun, it's easy!

When I moved from Houston to Dallas, I carried Dallas programming up until I re-plugged in the unit to a phone line.]]>Jun 19th 2006 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
I guess if I was rich I'd get it, but who has the much time to actually watch all that?!]]>Jun 19th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
I'm not sure that it has anything to do with quantifying the total cost of a DirecTV feed.]]>Jun 19th 2006 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 19th 2006 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/
Um, yeah. You don't need to break the security system to pirate it. Just fool it. But then again you know everything, so lets all just listen to you say...hmm...absolutely nothing.]]>Jun 20th 2006 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 20th 2006 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/19/directv-titanium-the-ultimate-couch-potato-package/Jun 26th 2006 4:39PM
