After getting Redzone last year with ST and finding myself watching RZ more often, this was a no brainer for me. Almost seems like the RZ product is too good!

I have been a DirecTV customer for just 15 months but I decided to give them a call and discuss what I see as nothing more than a sales tactic of not allowing the Redzone to be purchased without Sunday Ticket. The first and most important thing to note is that you get more bees with honey than...

I am definitely not going back to Dish... new Direct Customer who spent 10 months with Dish. The HR24 seems leaps and bounds better than the 722 UNLESS you are ok with getting an SD secondary signal which makes the 722 more flexible. However as someone who absolutely hates anything in SD...

Note to OP - Good english and some rational logic and structure will serve you much better than an unbridled stream of consciousness ;) I only took one pass at your post and will not attempt another, but I think I get your frustration. While I absolutely love the technology, programming and...

The HR-24 is an incredible DVR. Nice storage, great response, looks great and is easy to expand in terms of storage. Literally zero issues with this DVR.

Have to disagree with you here Jimbo... Let me be clear that I DO think that both D* and E* have the right to do everything that they are currently doing. With that said, they are NOT just like every other company. It is sneaky and even a little shady. They are not alone (cell phone...

MRV feature works really well, you will not be disappointed so long as you secure the HR24 DVR's, which are equally nice. What is even better is adding an ESATA 2TB external drive and going to town on the recordings. My HT experience is greatly improved and with 2 DVRs you can even switch...

Can we just all admit that both D* and E* have horrendous customer service after the sale and WILL use the "letter of the law" to weasel fees and contract renewals at every turn? I still Comcast has the worst CS ever, but despite their clueless people I never got on a call with them with one...

Let us not forget, technology leading DVRs in the HR24, better picture quality, MLB and NFL and the awesome MRV!

Reading a lot of issues with this particular receiver not playing nice with the HR24s. It is IMO the best receiver in my sub $600 price range but if it cannot live with the HR 24 then I need to know before I buy it :) Thanks.

FYI Free Lamp Offer has been extended to September 30, 2010. Just ordered mine.

Dish may indeed be working on a similar solution. The real question is: A) Will Dish continue to charge up to $17 a month per unit for leased hardware? B) Will Dish change their 3 unit lease maximum? C) Will they charge more than the $3 per month that DTV charges for MRV?

Good point! I did receive a nice discount on my ST/Premiere package and would probably do that every year if possible. The problem is that the promo is a 6 month price and when you average it out over the year, it is still considerably more than the $7 a month I paid for Redzone. That said...

I would definitely agree with that :D
