I think you should be all over a *C DSR530 where the Skip Forward AND Backward is USER PROGRAMMABLE. A feature NOBODY else has.
If you want 20 seconds back, or 10 or 25 and if you want 45 forward or 60 or 120...
PLUS the 99 JUMP where when you hit a 3 minutes commercial break, you just go 3 JUMP, and VOILA! all 3 minutes of commercial behind you.
No more JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP
For some strange reason, *C's prices have always been better than Shaw's.
Quite likely the NHLCI and NFLST is the best in the business.
It has been year over year so far.
But they like to manage their growth, so youse gotta pay to play.
Since I have all 3, my favourite is *C, but that free HD PVR deal is hard to resist, and it works very well.
