    HR20-700S at BestBuy!?!

    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.

    College Gameplan

    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.

    College Gameplan

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

    HR20 - Release in August (LA to be the first)

    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.

    HR20 - Release in August (LA to be the first)

    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:

    HR20 - Release in August (LA to be the first)

    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...

    Account suspension

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

    Account suspension

    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...

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    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...

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    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...

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    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.

    Upgrade to MPEG4 or not w/xbox 360?

    $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.

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    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 Dish - DC area

    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...

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    This sucks! Glad you got one that knew how to do the install. I got an installer who showed up and had no clue and told me that he was going to come back with someone who knew how to install the new dish as he said it looked too hard to install. He called at 5 to tell me that an "emergency"...

    5 LNB Dish - DC area

    HD Package Didn't say I wanted it, but I already have the HD package for the handful of college b-ball game that are in HD on ESPNHD and ESPN2HD. Guess it justifies the $10.99/month additional cost :rolleyes: . Probably will downgrade when March Madness ends.

    DirecTV MPEG4 Rollout to begin

    HD OTA Antenna I looked at my order today to verify the new install date (they moved it up for me) and on the order it notes a HD over the air antenna along with the new dish and receiver. Did the DTV person who put my order in make a boo boo? I'm not getting charged extra for it so I...

    Double check your appointment times

    I called last Thursday and got an install appointment this Wensday for the MP4 upgrade. Looked in the system this morning and it didn't show an appointment. Called to find out to confirm only to find out that my appointment was never put into the system (was told the DTV systems were...

    Washington DC?

    $99 As of 10 am this morning, they indicated that the "ONLY" option the system would allow is a $99 upgrade. I was able to get a $99 credit, but still had to pay the $14.95 S/H. From what I could tell this ordering system is not universal and depends on the location of install which makes...

    Here is the requirements for the free Upgrade to Mpeg4

    My experience I called this morning to the install phone number. It appears there is A LOT of confusion. I got it almost for free (I still had to fork out $14.95 for shipping, but didn't feel like argueing about it), but she had to get supervisor approval to give me the $99 credit on my bill...
