I'm surprised you don't have Verizon there yet. We've had it here in Redondo for 6 months. It's $5 a month for each box. If you can afford MB that's nothin.:o

Sorry for the confusion. I subscribe only to premier which includes the sports pack. No CI here. They are showing a 2006 playoff game in HD right now. I watch too much football and didn't even realize I had that channel. Thanks. Wikipedia says nhl channel is part of the choice package so I don't...

I get NHLHD 215 with the sports pack. Center Ice gets you most of the regional games also.

Thanks for the advice and I totally agree with you. I don't watch live tv so the performance of the dvr is critical to me. The installer is running the 9th and 10th cable to my living room right now. He freaked out when he saw my setup. That is my next project, figuring out how to get these RC34...

Thanks for the comparison HC & others. I have D* for the football like most people but Time Warner and Verizon FIOS are both new options here and are hounding me with great offers. Very tempting. My bill with premier, HD, locals and 5 HR20's is more expensive but you have convinced me that for...

On the surface Dish has more HD (the 15 Voom channels) than Directv. That's why I originally went with them. But there is very little NEW content on those channels. They get old fast. Directv is scheduled to put up more satellites (bandwidth) in the next year than Dish. This is very important...

I own mine ($700). The other guy has the lease.

Direct doesn't want anything to do with tivo boxes anymore but if you sell that box you just made an enemy. Directv said they won't transfer it and they meant it. Send it back or run some more wires and use it. I own mine and I still don't want to sell it. I would love to trade it in. Obsolete...

I prefer Directv to Dish but the Dish receivers are designed for 2 rooms each. They usually only want to lease 2 boxes to each account though. Maybe do the other 2 rooms with Comcast? $$$

Dish Network isn't that great for HD. Directv is better and cheaper. I had both until yesterday. $60 for internet? Wow! I pay $20 for slow DSL. I agree stay with cable and add D* this fall for new HD channels and NFL Sunday Ticket/Superfan. It's getting expensive to get the sports we want to watch.

Everybody leases now. Don't sweat it. I have 3 HR20's and love them now. No more lockups! In fact I'm trying to get rid of my HR10. I just had Dish for 1.5 years all HD DVR and just shipped 2 VIP622's back today. D* is cheaper and better. Get with retention department, threaten to switch and get...

If they won't send you a box then sell it. That's what they told me to do with mine. Some people actually still love these things. I just got 3 HR20's in 3 months and they said don't call us again for 6 months. I want 2 more. They made me send my D10 back when I upgraded. I had to ask for a box...

Keep bugging them for a box. Otherwise they may bill you for it. They definitely don't want them very badly though. I bought mine and they won't trade it up to the HR20 at any price. Of course when I got it they said they would. Can you say obsolete?

People on dbstalk and this forum are overwhelmingly asking for more hd, not broadband. If they ignore our wishes I predict massive churn.

My D* installers may have been contractors. I didn't ask to see their work identification. They did have shirts with Directv patches sewn on and their van had that fancy stick-on vinyl graphics all over it plugging something about D*. I know they don't make much money but the trainee said he...

FWIW I just upgraded to new dish and HR20 DVR. Installer and his trainee were D* employees. They were friendly and polite. They were even 5 minutes early (7:55 AM). The only thing they did wrong was hook up to the tv with the s-video cable that my dvd player had been using. I whipped out the...

Hit Menu, Help & Settings, Setup, Display. Try Native On or Off. I prefer off. I've had 5 different HD dvr's and the HR20 is kind of confusing and definately different than the others for setting screen resolution. I believe yours would be 720P.
