I'm currently own an HR10-250 receiver and have two dishes on my roof (one for locals). I have the Family programming package with the added HD package and of course, DVR service. I purchased the HR10-250 from Value Electronics a couple of years ago when it was still over $800. At that time, those of us who purchased it were promised a "free" or "minimal fee" upgrade to the MPEG4 model when it came out.
I've been away from the boards for quite some time, but from what I understand, to upgrade and be ready for the new national HD channels coming out later I will need to get the HR20 receiver and a new larger dish that will replace my two older ones? Is that correct?
So here are my questions:
1) How much is DTV currently charging those who own the HR10 to upgrade to the HR20? I assume since I own the HR10 that I would get to keep that, right?
2) I also assume they offer a free dish upgrade, right? What is the model number of the dish I would need to be ready for MPEG4 and the new national HD channels?
3) HD Locals are not available in my area yet, but when they are, I assume that the new receiver and dish will be ready for them, right?
Let me know if there's anything I missed or got wrong.
Thanks a bunch!
