    HD Hog Heaven!

    ROFLMAO :D That's good labrat! What's put me in HD bliss for the moment is ... (1) Picture quality is all I hoped for and even better than expected (on some of the channels that show older movies :eek: ) (2) The 722 is even 'cooler' than I anticipated ( now that I know how to run it ;) )...

    New sign up questions

    Thanks for the answers msmith, I was told by a local dealer that the new HDDVR receivers like the 22 would not output an analog signal any longer.

    Question about the Price Increase

    According to CEO rep ... I just got off the phone with a CEO rep that called me to try to 'satisfy' a problem I had inquired about. To my surprise he was very courteous and took care of the situation. While on the phone I asked him about the official word on the new pricing in Feb. and he...
