    My HOA is fining me $100 / day b/c of my DISH! HELP!!!

    Amen. I live in a community without a HOA, you can't believe what it takes to get a city ordinance enforced (even when the city inspectors agree there's a problem). Rats may get some action, but forget about anything like a house thats so full of garbage all the windows are covered with flies.

    A Couple of New DVR Photo's

    I don't see how for the TIVO unit- D* would have to be involved in the design and approve its use and we've seen no indication of that. I think its cable card only.

    Rumor - Free Hd Equipment From Direct?

    I have to agree. As far as we know, no mpeg-4 HD DVR currently exists, everything is speculation about what will be available with no real timeframe. The more I read, especially LonghornXP's and Dan Collin's posts on DBS Forums, the more I believe D* is far from having all the pieces put...
