yes, i've already subscribed to the thread and will now just wait. i can't wait to play with my new toy. any suggestions from anyone on some of the first things i should do since i just got it installed, literally, an hour ago? i've had/have every model of d* receiver made, i think, so i'm...

i just saw there may be another chance tonight. i'm very excited. i really hope this works out!!!

i just got my hr20-700 installed and need this update also. if anyone else knows any info on it, please let me know.

i get the cw network, but only b/c the bought out the wb or one of those type local stations. d* does offer it, if you are in an area where it is one of your local stations. its no different than any of the other locals.

i could be way off here, but i don't think espn is under any obligation to unblock it b/c the local is showing it or if they even could if they wanted to. i would say that espn's contract with the ncaa expressly prohibits them from allowing to be viewed in the blackout area no matter the...

i'm not sure what it is for one day, but i have gameplan and to get a game that is blacked out in our area (the one you usually want to watch) is $29. the prices are on www.espn.com

if you know the channel you want, they both work great, but i'm talking about tivo's recognition and grouping functions. i think they are more user friendly and specific than the directv interface. edit - i'm sorry. not sure what my comments have to do with the differences in remote. i'm...

i was offered this upgrade a few months ago. i believe my price would be $130, but that would be completely refunded, so free. i was still placed on the list and promised that "whenever" i was ready, i would have one waiting. we had just gotten the hd/dvr tivo upgrade a couple of months before...

i prefer the directv remote and guide over tivo. the only thing i like better about tivo is the ease of finding/recording programs.

i've gotten UNBELIEVABLE results with the rentention #

i couldn't agree more. what's up with that?? i know someone here knows d* service agreement well enough to answer this question off of the top of their head. does is provide D* with absolute discretion at any time to make certain channels in the package you PAY for unavailable?? if not...

i spoke to retention last night and was showered with gifts w/o even asking. i had called to ask about a football game and ended up getting paid $100 over the next 6 months by d* to take superfan, gameplan, and be on the "vip" list to receive the new receiver on the 1st shipment to my area for...

i was told last night by retention that the new models were released in a limited, trial # on august 16 and there has been a "rush" placed on the broader release. this should happen in the next "few months." i actually have only great things to report from my calls to the retention #. a...

thanks for your help.

i caved and bought a monster cable myself.
