Any recommendations for who to go through to order a custom directv installation?
I recently found 2 100 hour directivo's on sale by a store that was closing. I couldn't pass the price up so I bought them. Now I am looking to get directv and not sure who I should go through. I know directv offers three room basic installation, but what I am looking to do is get a three room basic installation and then the two directivos installed in a fourth room. Any suggestions on who I should order through? Or has anyone ordered satellite through one of the many websites that offers it that can recommend a good site to try.

This is totally off topic, but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I read your question. How do you plan on using the remote control with both directivos in the same room? Wouldn't the remote cause the same thing to happen with both boxes? Am I missing something? Sorry for the hijack.

I have 2 Replay-TVs in my setup and use the same remote. I simply toggle them with the on/off switch. They can record stuff when off so there is no issue. When I click the power button, one turns on and the other turns off. I can go through all the functions of the one that is on while nothing happens to the one that is off.
Works out pretty well.

Going through the TiVo menu you can switch the frequency on one remote, allowing two in the same room. The problem is just figuring out which remote works which TiVo on a constant basis.

You may now resume your original thread.

if you can get 2 lines into the room, why have 2 tivos in the room? you can still watch a show while the other tuner records another show.
unless you're recording a ton of stuff on TV.
when i ordered mine, i got it thru rapidsattelite.com, they had the best deal, upto 5 room system for free. or dtivo & 2 room for free. free install too.

Has anyone ordered from Solid Signal ? They seem to have the best deal for Dtivo. 35 hour for 19.99 with install and 100 hour for 205.00 with install plus shipping.
