Review: I got my first 169time upgrade back in 2001 for a DTC100. At first it could only do local HDTV so I also got the upgrade for my Integra satellite box. Finally in summer 2002 169time shipped the AVX1 and I could record HBO HD and HDNET satellite.
Even with the funky name, these 169time guys are the super heroes of HDTV recording, supporting HD recording with my JVC deck and PC before there was any other way to do it. They’re still the only way to do satellite HD. They even fixed my DTC100 for free and it wasn’t even their product’s fault.
Since then I’ve gotten my HDD200 4DTV decoder upgraded so I could get Starz HD on tape. I also got a friend of mine in Canada to upgrade his Bell Express 6000 since he gets a bunch of the latest PPV movies in HD taped that I can’t get here.
When I bought my new DLP HDTV I also paid $899 for the Sony Sat-HD300 with the DVI. I just had the HD300 169time upgraded for firewire and it’s fantastic.
I bought an HD-TIVO HR10-250 at a major chain store because the salesman said it had firewire and could record HD to my JVC. When I got it home and opened the box I nearly threw it out the window I was so mad. I took it back the same day and bought a Hughes HTL-HD for hundreds less than the Sony and it’s the same exact box as my Sony except the front panel. If you’re going to buy a DirecTV box for recording, the HTL-HD is the best deal today. Add the 169time upgrade to it and you’ll be the envy for sure.
