Got my TR-40CRA today.

[Skyhi]

My two converter boxes arrived today. I ordered them from solidsignal.com....two boxes w/coupons came to $12.84 with next day shipping (mods, feel free to delete this if its inappropriate). I hooked one up and I'm impressed.....very user friendly interface and its all very familiar since i am a current E* sub.

The tuner is awesome. So far, no signal dropouts.....I wish my 722's tuner (which can be very flaky) was as good as the TR-40.

How did you get two boxes shipped for $12.48? The cheapest shipping I see is $9.95 for 1 box?

[TheKrell]

I see $12.95 for ground shipping for 2 units. I do not see 2nd day for any less than $30.

Are these units going to be available from Dish Retailers? I'd rather buy from a local retailer than do mail order, but so far I've talked to 3 in my area and they were making noises like they were never going to have any.

The units are part of Echostar, but are not Dish Network receivers. I wouldn't hazard a guess as to whether DN local dealer would ever have them to sell.

Skyhi, any chance to see pictures of both sides internal board? - wondering what is different from DTVPal.

you can buy them from Echostar's DTVPal web site (I got my TR-40CRA from there, about $12 delivered after Echostar's shipping charge and local taxes). Box arrived in 2 days since I'm 2 days UPS from the warehouse Echostar shipped it from.

[Smith, P.]

skysurfer, perhaps you could post pictures of TR-40 for compare with DTVPal.

[pabeader]

no need. they are EXACTLY the same, hmmm except for maybe the tuner. there are two different ones.

[dogpoobob]

I was told by the CSA at Dish that they were exactly the same. I got mine, but haven't tried out yet.
