    Anyone own a RCA DRD486?

    Do any installers carry this model? I'm trying to sign up through Verizon because of their DirecTV/Phone service bundle deal, but they can't find any installers that have this in stock in my area (Los Angeles). I don't want to buy it in a retail store like Circuit City cause I'd have to pay...

    Digital Audio receivers

    I found out that the RCA DRD486 has Coaxial along with Optical. I hope Coaxial quality will be as good as Optical because my optical jacks on my Stereo receiver are maxed out so i'd have to use the coaxial.

    Has anyone found out why they charge sales tax?

    I'm in California. I currently have Dish Network. And there is no tax on my bills. But I ordered Voom and there will be tax. It's bizarre. I think it has something to do with Voom being owned by the cable company, Cablevision.

    Voom business going TOO well?

    Both Voom and their Installers are saying business is going incredibly well. TOO well in fact. They say the reason why it takes so long to get an installation date is because the supply (hardware) can't keep up with the demand. I'm surprised by this in a few ways. First of all, no one I...
