Unfortunately for me, I had to cancel my order. I borrowed an HD-TIVO and couldn't get consistant signal lock on the OTA channels with my current antenna setup. If I used a pre-amp I could get the weaker channels, but the higher ones would jump around too much to lock (I read that others had...

Awesome! I'm a new customer, and after playing CSR roulette for a bit, I finally got some satisfaction! I had to sign-up for service and get an installation date/account number, and THEN call customer retention to get the hd-dvr. They couldn't order one for me now, but the CSR noted on my...

I'm thinking about switching to D* from E*. I really want an HD DVR, and if I'm going to have to buy one, I'd much rather not have to pay a lease fee too :) I'd like to get both an HD and regular tivo. And, a new dish. My current setup is a Dish 500 twin and a 61.5 sat, which means I have...
