After a lot of comparing and talking with the wife, decided that we could and would switch to D*, but I would give E* one last chance. If E* wouldn't give in at all, off to D* we would be. Found out install times and everything. Even went to local electronic chain to play with D*'s DVR...

Let me add a few things here. I originally became a DHP (Digital Home Plan) subscriber so I didn't have to OWN equipment. I don't mind paying an extra premium per month to lease equipment. I really don't care to own this stuff. It will be outdated in 5 years anyways. 2nd, I've been with E*...

Was pointed in the direction of this forum when I was asking my brother (who's been a dish subscriber for a while) about adding a reciever. I actually called Dish, but I already know everytime I call I get a different answer. So I'm looking for the "real" answer. In July I subscribed(new...
