Although if you look at the BOX, it's stated on it that the recvr is a LEASE.

I would look at it this way, everything you buy from some one since March 2006 will be a LEASE.

Personally, I would call D* and see what they will offer you.

thanks everybody U saved me money and trouble.....I really hate the lease stuff, pay 200.00 but don't own make no sense but oh well that is the way it is.......

Jimbo I will call and see what they have to offer last time I did there was no discount....

Here's a place that has them for a little cheaper,
DirecTv Hr23 : Digital Video Recorders / Video [ 2 Reviews ]

. Plus this way you know you'd be getting a new receiver, from DirecTV could be a HR23, could be a refurb HR20.

Best Buy and Costco is another option if you want to verify what your getting.
btw, Costco will be cheaper.

I hate to keep asking but I found a box on graiglist that is owned cheap
how are the
HR10-250

And is there any box if I were to look for what model number to own thanks

The HR10-250 is obsolete as far as todays HD goes.. It doesn't do mpeg4. You need an HR20 up to an HR23 for use in todays DirecTV

I thought that was a given.....

And how did you verify that the box was 'owned' and not leased? If you didn't you should have caled DirecTV with the RID of the box to verify that it wasn't a lease and that it was free and clear, no outstanding charges against it.

As to your question, unless you have a SWiM LNB or switch then yes it will need the BBC's connected inline on the coax.
