Not true. I just bought one that was previously activated on another account. Since the previous owner didn't return it and was charged a non-return free, D* no longer owned it and I was able to purchase. I now own it and did not have to take a 2 year commitment to activate. (The CSR did...

What it means (and D* agreed with me) is that he was charged for it and, therefore, owned it. Then he sold his property to me.

I just checked my account. It was initially entered as leased. Then, the lease charge was credited back and it was in as an additional owned receiver. Also, I noticed something interesting. Even though nothing else from D* is taxed in NJ, the lease charge has tax added to it. (So, I'll...

I was a bit surprised myself...but my logic was great. If someone else had already paid for the unit because they didn't return it, then D* didn't own it any longer. So, they can't lease to me something that they don't own. (I kinda expected them to turn around and say they wouldn't let me...

The game is now listed in HD on 95.

He is probably talking about the MPEG-2 on 110 and 119.

Got mine today...(Friday the 13th.)

Interesting...and somewhat bizzare! In the program guide 202 is still CNN and 360 is Fox News. However, when I tune to 202 I ge Fos News ad when I tune ot 360 I get CNN.

I'm now getting CNN on 360 and Fox News on 202. Does anyone know if this a screw up? Or has Rupert moved his Fox News channel to a more visible position?

I'll bet they didn't even bother to point out to you that the NASCAR race was last night.

Is there any reliable (or even semi-reliable) source for this "feeling"? Or is it just a guess?

Last I heard there are 6 days in the week that Sunday Ticket requires no bandwidth for.
