:mad:I just received a letter from Verizon that the prices for the box rental is going up on April 23rd. I've been a subscriber for 4 years and have had 2 out of the 5 boxes replaced as they have died. I'm supposed to pay more money per box rental while new customers are getting a free multi...

noticed the DVR channels changing and no one touching the remote. I turned on my TV and it asked for display type( SD HD). I now have IMG 1.9 in LI

Apple can release an update to millions and millions of people to download in a day. This IMG 1.9 has been dragging on for 8-9 months already. Come on Verizon get off your ass and just put the guide out for all. You've beta tested it to death, it works. Let everyone have it already.

Any word on the T2200S, The HDDVR from Echostar that is sling loaded. The last report on this was March 30 of last year when it was announced.

The title says it all, if you had purchased a lifetime plan will that stay for good, or will they try to weasel out of it? If they honor the lifetime sub I was able to switch out the unit up to three times and transfer the sub(for a fee),will that still be honored?

It was asked once before in this thread with no response, what happens to lifetime subs? I have a Sirius lifetime sub, will that remain intact?

I'm in the the New York area , and have yet to receive the new guide. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Has Verizon gotten the bugs out of the new guide, or are there still problems with it? I don't mind waiting for the guide if there are problems with it, but if it is working OK...

I must have missed out on the 30 sec skip. How do tou program the remote for it?

Now that the Sat Expo is over, I thought that we would have some news regarding Directv's plans with the new HD DVR, HMC and the Directv to go. Hopefully we will get some news soon. Afterall, what was the point of the Expo without news of new product announcements and availability.

Do you guys really expect D* and E* and cable to carry more and more channels, each with their own fees, and each with annual increases - and not have annual increases in their pricing? CPanther95, I wouldn't mind paying extra if we got more channels. At least E*is getting the Voom...

I guess the upgrade to MPEG-4 is coming out of our pockets. If you figure an increase of 3-6 dollars per subscriber, and over 15 million subscribers, thats about 65 million per month. I feel for the many people that got sucked into a 2 year commitment over the past few months to find out they...

Dragon, I was being sarcastic. The way D* has been going recently, they are working backwards. The rf connection on the back that I was referring to is the connection that hooks up to the TV with a coax cable instead of component, HDMI, VGA, etc.. My remark about the remote meant that they...

With all of the lack of news regarding the HMC and HD DVR I feel that this is what we have to look forward to from D*. These are ways that Rupert and Co. can help their bottom line. The next gen boxes will not have a remote, you have to get up to change the channels. Forget about all of...

To anyone that has the MPEG4 Box and HD LIL's, Where are the HD LIL channels mapped on the DTV grid?

Longhorn and anyone else in the know, originally there was a lot of rumors regarding a trade up price towards the HD DVR and client boxes. Over the years I have shelled out a lot of money for equipment. I am not interested in paying an additional 14.95 or so a month that I don't have to pay...
