    HR-20 purchase

    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...

    HR20 Activation Fun & Games

    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.

    HR20 Activation Fun & Games

    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...

    HR20 Activation Fun & Games

    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...

    HR20 Activation Fun & Games

    I finally decided to make the leap to the HR20. (Though I love my HR10, I know with the new satellites on the way it's days are numbered.) Like many other people, I figure if I pay money for it, I should own it and not be under a lease. Also, I didn't want to lock in to another 2 year...

    CNN/Fox News Swapped?

    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?

    SNY Network

    There are a bunch of new alternates added in the 600's this morning. In adding them to the favorite channels in my TiVo, I noticed that for 625, though it still shows up as "RSNa", the description is listed as "SportsNet New York".

    New Mpeg4 HD DVR price $499 and it's a lease!

    Then, I guess I made the right call in deciding to go ahead and buy the HR10-250 in December 2005 rather than waiting! :D

    Pole Mount

    "High tensile concrete"??? There is no such thing. In fact, all concrete is fairly weak in tension. That is what rebar is used for. Concrete is only strong in compression. As for the strength to use in this application, just about anything will do. Size is more of a consideration. You...
