| | I returned a defective receiver last month. Inside the recovery kit box there was a pre-paid FedEx return label, which also includes a stub you can remove for your records. The tracking number isn't on the stub though -- just the receiver ID and model number -- but there's plenty of room for you to write it down. There was also a piece of tape to reseal the box, as well as a sheet with instructions. |

Many of the older boxes won't be used anymore anyways.

Plus if they get swapped out look at the millions of dollars of equipment dtv will have to dish out to replace those receivers. Takes time and money. |

Also, they ARE still giving out SD recvrs, I think it depends also on what they have in the warehouse.
