Pretty exciting to see your name in print! OK, so this is the white pages.
Seriously: does anyone use the white pages anymore? Or even the yellow pages?
I guess this is why we have big recycling bins here in Los Angeles.
Hopefully we’ll have something more interesting to report from CES . . .
Come today at about 3:30 PM Pacific, the last UPS truck will leave WeaKnees. So that’s your last chance to order from us and have us get the package to you in time for Christmas!
You’ll need overnight shipping to make it happen, and please get your order in with time to spare for us to build it (if necessary) and pack it properly. If in doubt – call! 888 932-5633.
All TiVos, upgraded and stock, and all DirecTV DVRs are in stock and can be shipped out today!
There’s no question we get asked here at WeaKnees more than “When is the new DirecTV TiVo HD coming out?”
Man, do we wish we had a good answer.
Both DirecTV and TiVo have generally only gotten as specific as “2010.” And that’s all we’ve been able to repeat to everyone.
But, recently, DirecTV has posted a couple of tweets that narrow down the 12 month window to, maybe, a four month window. They’ve used the terms “early next year” and “first part of 2010” in their posts.
Yes, this is important breaking news, and it’s definitive.
Now, if only we had some clue as to features, pricing, looks, availability, etc. . .
We’ve made our discounts on the Humax DVD TiVo combo DVRs permanent. So, effective today, get all you want starting at $149!
We’ve got two varieties – the DRT400 and the DRT800, which has a FireWire port for video input from a video camera. And we’ve got lots of configurations, from 40 hours up to 1360.

At WeaKnees, we’ve always wanted better access to the letter-entry screens on our TiVos. Originally, we wanted this for finding shows, and creating Season Passes and WishLists.
But now, with the amount of Video on Demand available on these units, it’s becoming untenable to either use a remote with just directional keys, or to shuttle back and forth between a computer or smartphone and a TiVo.
Seems we’re not alone. This NYTimes article talks about a study comparing Amazon VOD to Netflix Streaming (both happily available on many TiVo DVRs) and the while the main conclusion of the small study is that each offering works for a different group of people, each group was united in their need for a better way to manage the possibilities of the video to be streamed.
Enter, the TiVo keyboard. Except, it doesn’t exist. And there are no IR codes for it. Yes, you can do more and more from a computer or a smartphone, but we love our TiVos! We want to do this right in the TiVo interface! Give the people what they want!
