Looking to replace my old Shaw DVR with a new 630 PVR. Does anyone know where I can get a deal on one? KuSat has them for $400 USD but don't want to spend that much.

When I called DirecTV yesterday to place my order the CSR asked why I'm switching from Dish. I told her that losing AMC was bad and B10 was the final straw. She said they've been swamped this week with Dish customers that are cancelling for the same reason.

Made the jump today. Switching from Dish to Direct on Friday afternoon. Looking forward to coming back after 3 years with Dish.

Yep. Calling DirecTV tomorrow. I'm a AAA member so I'll order through their number and get an additional $10 off for 20 months on top of the current advertised offer. Been 3 years since I've had D*. Looking forward to whole home DVR and seeing how much their technology and service have...

I believe the answer to this is yes. My question is are the HR24 recordings available on the HR34 and any other connected HD receivers in the house?

Let me know how that works out for you. I plan to switch to a similar setup as what you're looking at.

This really is getting old. Was with D* for 12 years until switching to Dish 3 years ago. Looking hard for a good reason to not go back to D* at this point.

Nope. Only offers I've gotten are the Roku + $10/month for a year and 1/2 price off Starz for 6 months. Haven't taken advantage of the Starz offer yet.

Got one today too

Yes, I bought all of season 5 last week with a 5% discount. They only charge you for each episode as it's released and you can cancel anytime during the season.

Netflix won't have it until next summer at the earliest. They just added season 4 yesterday. To stream season 5 now you'll need to use Amazon.

The "luck" I'm referring to is getting a free Roku out of the deal. That's what this thread is about.

No luck for me. Been with Dish for 3 years. Not under contract. No special offers now and pay $150 a month. Loyalty offered me $10 for 12 months and told me I could buy a Roku locally if I wanted to watch AMC shows on my big screen rather than my computer. I told them I would have to look...

No, really just would want to watch them on 2 of the 5. I thought that was the answer but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

If I have 1 DVR and 4 HD receivers connected for the whole home DVR setup, to receive local channels that DirecTV doesn't carry would I have to have an AM21 on each receiver or just the DVR?
