    Rolltide and I both agree that since we're both getting sketchy info - we'll take the average . divided by the mean, multiplied by the derivative of the inverse function to come up with the conclusion that nobody has the right answers at Corporate! :P

    Spoke with Christina at the Executive Office of Soraya Cartwright - the TV is covered only by the TV's mfg warranty - you can buy the extended coverage for the 811 only.. She did say, that you can return the TV and 811 within 30 days (you pay for freight) and get a refund on the whole promo...

    811 no longer available thru Dish w/o buying HDTV in a box?

    I received a call today from the Executive office of Soraya Cartwright from Dish - (866 -443 5162) apparently the CSR that entered my order failed to add the 811 code to the HDTV in the box (still charged me $999) AND neglected to enter the size TV I wanted. In either case - they still have...

    Anyone know how long the HDTV in a Box promotion will run?

    not a stupid question - they want their money up front - I doubt there will be a DHP promo for HDTV in a box.. it's whether we get our TV's installed on time - that's another question

    811 no longer available thru Dish w/o buying HDTV in a box?

    as I write - I am buying the HDTV promo for $999 (as an existing customer!) - AND, the CSR was told 2 hours ago that the 811 is no longer available for new or existing without buying the HDTV in a box - too much demand for the 811, is forcing them to bundle it.. anybody else want to confirm...

    HD in the box what model would you buy 34 or 40 ?

    I believe so - here's the TV's manual pdf http://media-server.amazon.com/media/mole/MANUAL000013906.pdf it's identical with what Dish is offering - with the exception of the different DVI input http://www.satelliteguys.us/index.php?page=3&action=file&cat_id=2&id=7

    link showing back panel for TV's offered in HD in a Box?

    I'd go with the 34" - the Dish guy that installed my 811 last week said they have a ton of them in their warehouse (Torrance , Ca) Also - better for us as the second HDTV - since the kiddies need their PS2 and Xbox..
