    Can I Cancel D* within a Week of Installation?

    your mistake in all this was telling dtv you knew it was an hddvr. had you played dumb and said they brought the wrong equipment you probably wouldnt have had to work so hard. Z

    Will 99,101,103,110,119 all reach Montreal, Canada?

    I dont see why you would not be able to catch all sats - for sure you should be able to get the main 3. 99 and 103 are for locals. if you dont subscribe to them then you dont need them. on 99 and 103 you will see those transponders that are within you spotbeam. If you sub is in LA you should...

    returning a leased hddvr

    yes, I could have them send a recovery box to my billing address and then some how have it forwarded to me. I would rather just box it in the original box and put the proper info on the box and ship it when i cross the border. Do you think dtv would pick up on the fact that the returned...
