    Too Much $$$ to upgrade, going to DISH

    Hi Madisonbdish- I wasnt referring to mirroring charges which are identical for both providers. I was talking about the lease charges. Lease = rent, and last I checked renting meant you paid to borrow something- this was $5 per box when I was with dish, IN ADDITION to the mirroring fee of...

    Too Much $$$ to upgrade, going to DISH

    Ok--- So if it would cost you $200 for 3 new units--- Dish charges you $5/ month to lease. so $200 compares to $15/month--- in one year, you will have paid the same amount with Dish. Except a) you will continue to pay as long as you are leasing recievers, and b) you will have inferior...

    Direc tivo problems..need some feedback

    I just switched from E* last week. The RCA DVR80 is just as quiet as my 508 was. The Grid Guide is VERY slow- embarrasingly slow. But the Tivo Guide is much faster, and better overall IMO. To switch to it, bring the guide up and hit "info".

    keep in mind the phase 3 dishes have a switch built in, up to four outputs.
