    SD-DVR to HD-DVR upgrade

    I called a couple weeks ago to inquire about upgrading an R-15 to an HD-DVR. I was quoted $199 + shipping. Is that the going rate these days, or do I have any shots at better deals? I have 3 HD-DVRs already - not sure if that makes a difference or not (and I got two of those for free).

    Satellite channel listing?

    Is there a list somewhere of what channels are on which satellite? I'm having all kinds of signal issues on ESPN-HD tonight, and want to make sure I'm looking at the right satellite for signal quality. At quick glance, nothing caught my eye on any of them.

    WHEN will Voom shut down?

    Sorry if I missed this information in another thread... Do we know yet just when service will be shut off? In saying "on April 30" does that mean at 12:01 am on Saturday, service will be shut off? Or will we have service all day Saturday, and it will be shut off Saturday night? I am...

    Dish DVR

    Dish DVR vs. Tivo? (I edited the title to make it more specific than the original) We've had stand-alone Tivo for over a year. I'm seriously considering the 942/625 combo with Dish. Can anyone give a comparison between the Dish DVR and Tivo? What are the major differences? I'm sure...
