I’ve got to buy a new DirecTV box for my bedroom…I’m not sure, but I guess whatever the sensor is that detects a remote has died in my box.  I’ve tried every remote in the house and none of them will change the channel anymore. So I’ve got a choice of HDTV receiver or a DVR receiver.  Our TVs are capable, but I’ve just never upgraded to HDTV. I mean I’m happy with what I have, but I KNOW I like recording stuff.  So I’m browsing the directv site as I try to catch up on blogging and email while I’m here at Dad’s bumming his Internet connection trying to decide.  Advice?
