Yes I would still go with the 811 over the D* options. The 811 has had it's struggles, but the updates keep coming not like D*. They do not do updates on a regular basis. The 811 has a better guide, signal meter for OTA channels right there when you tune to the channel, you'll see the...

I too was faced with the decision of a HD-HTL or a Sammy 360. I struggled for days with the choice. I read all of the info on www.avsforum.com about both units. both units had their fans and both units had their faults. I only was expecting to use my unit for the NFL ticket, since I have E*...

Why would that be the case. I have an existing card they have on file. why would I not be able to get just swap the cards from my receiver to a new or used receiver? If my receiver were to go bad, it would be silly to require me to buy a new card and commit to a year of service just b/c I...

I put a thread up in the classified forum, but just wanted to include one in here as well. I am looking to purchase a D* HD receiver, not a HD/Tivo receiver, just a plain HD Receiver in good working condition. Any of you folks that may be upgrading to the HD/Tivo and looking to get rid of...

How much did it cost and where did you order it from, if you don't mind me asking

The problem is that I am not a regular D* subscriber. I only subscibe to the NFL ticket and they know this. And even if I did get them to give me the receiver for free, they would expect a commitment in return, which I am not willing to make since I am already with E*

D* was only willing to give me the special for $199 and I would have to commit to 12 months. I only use D* for the NFL ticket.

does anyone have the LG model also, Circuit city and Best buy have the Hughes model for $299, is that for new customers only, or can I buy it as an existing customer without having to make a commitment

Does anyone here have a LG receiver or at least tried one. It is my understanding that LG made the sony and hughes models, but they all differ in features.

It's almost football season again and I am looking to get a HD receiver to be able to watch the games in HD. I have a TV that has Component and DVI inputs, but I use the component input for my E*, so I need a D* HD receiver with a DVI interface. I know that each receiver has it's own pros...

As far as I know, you can get the NFL Sunday Ticket by itself, I know that's what I do and have done for the lats 3 years

I currently get all of my regular programming from E*. (Look at my signature for my receivers.) But I am really getting fed up with all of the issues I have been having lately with E* I currently only subscribe to the NFL ticket with D* and have done so for the last 3 years. If I come to...

No, you can get NFL ticket by itself. I currently have only the NFL ticket with nothing else. Been like that for 3 years already

Thx Alan All I really want to use Direct for is the NFL ticket, unless the local HD channels are better on the Direct Receiver than on the Dish 811 or my Mitsu WS-55613. I will say that I would also buy it in case Direct starts to offer more HD content than Dish, and then I would have an...

So if I am reading your reply correctly, I can go into Best buy and just pickup any DirectV HDTV receiver without having to sign any programing commitment for any length of time

I currently have both Dish and Direct. I use Dish as my primary provider and Direct for the NFL ticket. I already have an 811 that uses my both component and DVI, but my Mitsu was only calibrated for component, so I will use the 811 with the component cables and look to get a Direct receiver...
