I have a RCA DTC-100 that will pick up all over the air channels and has an excellent scan for channel function. I am not sure if the DTC-210 is the same. I think it will work without the access card for OTA.

I have a HR20 hooked to my 27" Sony in the bedroom. I am useing the s-video connection, set the resolution to 480i, and output ratio to 4:3. I letterbox the HD channels unless it is not a widescreen program, then I use 480i crop which fills the entire screen like a normal 4:3 channel but it...

I called back in Nov. to see if I could get some sort of upgrade deal. They offered to send me a H20 to replace one of my HD receivers, I have 2, and credit me $99.00. I asked about a HR20 and they told me they would still credit only $99.00. Of course they wouldn't promise a 20 series machine...

I thought it would record two programs from the SAT while watching a third from OTA but I found out last weekend that isn't true.

I live just outside a small central Texas town where cable is not available although I think cable is available in town. I do receive the Austin channels over the satellite but with my OTA I also receive Waco stations. Two of the Waco stations broadcast the weather radar 24/7 on the sub...

Yes, that seems to be true so they NEVER should have told me they would do that in the first place. I even saved them how ever much they pay someone to do an install. I guess I still came out a little ahead of the first deal, just a lot of frustration to get the equipment you want.

GOOD LUCK I called to see about upgrading last weekend. They offered an HD receiver for free or $99.00 credit towards a HD DVR.After them agreeing to send me the equipment they couldn't promise a 20 series machine, OTA is important to me too. I was told if I bought one they would credit my...

Amen too that! Thats why I went out and bought the HR20, just to make sure I got one. Of course it's still not mine.

Trust me I'm well aware of that too. It took me a long time to agree to do this after spending several hundreds of dollars over the years to buy HD receivers I thought would give me what I had to buy a new one for. I am still a little sore over that.

They didn't show me anything but I was well aware of the commitment. The CSR supervisor did mention it at the end of the call. It is almost as if they try to sneak it in at the end if you don't already know.

After kicking around for weeks about buying a new HD reciver, beging for an upgrade, changing providers, or doing nothing, I called D* yesterday. I explaned I wanted to upgrade to get the new channels, what kind of deal can I get. My system is a Proscan SD receiver, a RCA DTS-100 HD receiver...

Okay, I can see where a retailer may say they can't sell machines any longer. After getting D* to agree to let me buy my equipment and they will credit my account for the price of a HD receiver I went to a local Circuit City. I decided to go for the HD DVR at my expense for the upgrade. I kid...

I have noticed there is a H20-100 and an H20-600. Are there differences in the machines and is one better than the other. I have been reading about the HR20s and it seems people have problems with those. That and the higher cost has me thinking of just getting a HD receiver to replace one of my...

I have noticed the Circuit City website clearly states the units are leased. B Brewer

A local Best Buy here in central Texas had several H20s, a few H21s, and one HR21 on the shelf. Oh and I think a few R15s? I am interested in a HR20. The only one they had was the display. I asked if they had more, they checked the computer and said no. Asked when more would arrive? I don't know...
