If you call up directv they cannot garuntee what brand of receiver you are going to get. if you want a hughes receiver, you might call some local retailers to see if they have any them. Otherwise look around online, might try ebay. but you're out of luck getting one from dtv.

the 5 lnb dish will only be good for a year or so, then dtv will be coming with a 6 lnb dish that will see all of the sats, 95, 99, 101, 103, 110, 119. that's of course when all of our new sats our up and running supposedly by 2007.

on the single lnb dish you will have 2 outputs, and you will need a 2x4 multi-switch. all of the TC+ programming comes from the 101 sat. only thing that would come from a different sat would be locals, hd, or international stuff.

yeah, closed captions are in the tv. but the only receivers that have the cc built into the reciever themselves are the Samsung SIR-TS360, HNS HTL-HD and Sony SAT-HD-200.

currently the only receivers that have closed captioning are the Samsung SIR-TS360, HNS HTL-HD and Sony SAT-HD-200.

no, exsisting customer cannot get premier for free w/ sunday ticket. simply because new customers pay $279 for nfl sunday ticket versus exsisting customers can get sunday ticket for $199 with auto renew, $219 before 9-11 or $239 regular price after 9-11. this is a new customer offer only...

yeah...d* is going to tell you that you need the phone line connected. however they can make exceptions say if you dont' have a phone line in your house, or you don't have a phone line real close to your ird. so no, you don't really need the phone line. -Greg

the DirecTV dvrs do have digital optical out and s-video outs. Yes DirecTV's contract with Tivo is up soon and they will be offering thier own dvr (the r15) which will have the same menu style as the D10 and H10 receivers, but it will have all of the same features and capabilities if not more...

also the DirecTivo DVRs are going down to $48. $99(equip)+$49(install)=$148(total)-$100(rebate)=$48. one rebate per houshold. this is for both new and exsisting customers. :-D

yeah, those channels are used to send software updates to the dvrs, your dvr will usually go to one of those channels at like 2 or 3 in the morning to download showcases and other misc updates.

once the HR10-250 gets the 6.2 software update, then yes it will support folders.
