-100 is Thomson manufacture, who bought Hughes about a year ago.

Hm. That's great, but Metron went out of business about a month ago. Closed their doors and locked out their employees. Anyone else?

OK, for those of you who are DIRECTV authorized retailers, who's the preferred distributor?

I can certainly appreciate your frustration and concern. As a manufacturer's representative, I would encourage you to understand the situation from a perspective OUTSIDE of your elevated emotional situation right now. 1. DIRECTV is trying to roll out new product, manufacture and import...

One rebate per household for all DVR DIRECTV products.

whatever you like the most. EVERYONE has an opinion about what looks the best. Me, I'd spend the money on a high quality plasma, but that's because all I do is sell tv's & satellite equipment. WHAT LOOKS THE BEST TO YOU? is the appropriate question, not "What should _I_ buy?"

I sell DIRECTV equipment in a wholesale environment and have not seen a 3-4 second lag on channel change is several years. 3-4 seconds upon initial power up or whatever, yes, but channel up or down - no Way!

I have to admit, in 3 years of working with 1000's of retailers, this si the first time I have ever heard someone say the DIRECTV customer service was "far better" than Dish! I know it's your opinion, but wow!

The lifetime sub is lifetime of that particular unit. Have 6 Tivo in the house? Have 6 lifetime fees.

Let me start by saying that I work for an RCA distributor so my views will be biased: The Ultimate TV piece you have, the DWD490, is obsolete, and a complete waste of space. Microsoft, RCA, & DIRECTV never were able to come together to get anything near a good situation with the Ultimate...
