I called D* is November and just asked specifically about getting an HR24. She said it was $199. I asked can she do better on the price, she put me on hold for about 5 min, came back and said if I bought right now, they could drop it to $99, but I had to have it pro installed for another $20. I tried to tell them that where it's going, I already had two coax ran and didn't need help, but she said that was the only way they would do it. So I just did it. got it for $120. They were out 2 days later. Probably the easiest time I had getting an upgrade. Should mention, that I have been a customer for 10+ years.
