Now if they'd only add The Tennis Channel I could drop E* for good......

I love my directv but I have thought about switching to Dish to get the tennis channel.... Maybe this means the Tennis Channel is coming soon......

There is no mention of which DirecTV receivers and which dish are needed to receive these interactive services.
I don't think that the new H20 HD receiver is interactive yet.
Neither is the current HD Tivo.
So what do you need?

The H(R)20 will be Active ready, they just need to finish coding the patch/update and send it to them.

ATM, the only receivers I know of that have Active ready to go, is the D10s and D11s, and I think, the R15 (the product description claims it has it), there may be others, if so, someone else here will mention it.

The R15 is InterActive.. pretty neat features actually... I upgraded my tivo unit for the R15 just to check out the YES network... it supports it also....
