I upgraded last december to my first HR-20, and last week called to get another HR-20. I was told that their were no deals available due to being upgraded less than 1 year ago. I asked for a supervisor and he gave me the HR-20 for 399-100 instant credit (299), then made payable over 3 bills at...

Does anyone know if the H20 is capable of a software upgrade to allow it to network with the HR20 allowing it to view the recorded content on the HR20's hard drive? I think this would be a great feature if it is software capable. John

I have had both the AT9 and the AU9 (slimline) dishes. It is hard to compare them because i had the AT9 in Florida, and now the AU9 in North Carolina. As far as national's go they both seem to work identically without any problems. From an Install point of view and looks I seem to like the...

I just got upgraded to a H-20 from an old H-10 also. My readings went down on the h-20 which used the same line as the h-10. I thought an alignment issue was causing this due to replacing my 3-lnb dish with the new at9. My other receivers still are almost exactly the same as before, it just...

I called DTV and asked for the conversion to MPEG4. I currently had a H-10 receiver and a H10-250 Tivo along with a sd rtivo and 2 other sd receivers. I had been a customer since day 1 in 1994 and wanted the new equipment. DTV rep told me no problem, h20 swapout free, and as soon as the MPEG4...

it is interesting. however, what happenes when you need to upgrade your programming receiver? it is 1 unit. Now if directv came out with something like the "cable card" pcmcia adapter that would truly be great!
