ok I got the H20 last December so I already had the 5-LNB. The navagation takes a little getting used to , but so far so good. I guess I"m lucky. The speed of the guide and setting up recordings is a lot faster than the HR10.

$299 I purchased it yesterday from BB here in Virginia, it's $299 off the shelf with no BB rebate.

Wonder if Gameplan still carry's these Think those are the regional feeds for ABC, wondering if DTV will allocate HD space for the gameplan games on the birds. Last year all games were SD on Gameplan as far as I can remember.

Does College Gameplan include the HD games on regional ABC or ESPN+ (assuming ESPN+ has HD) or do all games come in SD.

FiOS Availability http://www.fiberexperts.com/fios-availability.html http://www.dslreports.com/gmaps/fios I think the possibility of Tivo on Verizon FiOS did it, looks like a no-brainer to make the switch.

Under contract The CSR indicated I was under contract for another 15 months (I got the LNB 5 last December and I think that renewed my commitment).:cool:

My experience FiOS is coming to the area (Fairfax, VA) in another week or two. According to my math, it'll end up being a better deal in the end. Any ways called DTV to see if I could find out some more info about the HR20 and to find out if my equipment was a lease of I owned it...

Owned Equipment I own all of my equipment, wonder if they'll just let me send it all back and call it even?

FIOS is going live in another two weeks in my area. Was considering trying it out and was wondering if DTV had any sort of deal where I could just suspend my account then cancel after my commitment period is over assuming I want to stay with FIOS. I've been a DTV customer for 2 years and had...

Mpeg4 If you want HD Locals and be able to "DVR" it, then you'll have to stick with over the air. The current DTV HD DVR can't decode MPEG4. If you look at other posts, they predict that the MPEG4 enabled DVR will come out sometime this year, I think I remember seeing pictures of it...

My five cents I believe the standard deal is $99 for dish, H20, and install from DTV. I managed to get the deal for free after I talked to them about how others were getting it for free and with supervisor approval, see my previous posts. Even if you get it for free you may get stuck with...

Successful Install My story has a happy ending. A good tech (named James) came out and put everything up within a hour and even fine tuned it for me. He also made sure to work out all bugs before he left my house. Very happy with the install.

$20 The connection kit shouldn't cost you more than $20, I'll bet you can find it used on eBay or one of the used VDO game stores.

Concur with above Why not see if they're willing to install the dish for you and you can just buy the H20 receiver, seem to remember hearing that there was a $200 rebate so it comes out free in the end. Otherwise looks like you'll have to wait for the HD DVR althought one of the DTV was...

5 Lnb The LNB5 with the new H20 receiver will let you get the HD local channels, however your HD DVR won't be able to record the new HD locals cuz it can't decode MPEG4. I have read that the MPEG4 DVR comes out 1st Q '06. If you do go this route, quote the deal I got (see above) and you...
