I'm a relatively new subscriber to DirecTV, having just come on board in August of 2007. At that time, I got an H20-100 HD Receiver, but didn't think I'd want a DVR receiver. Well, now I've seen the error of my ways, and would like to upgrade my HD Receiver to an HD-DVR Receiver. Here are my questions:
--I'm approximately 5 months into my standard commitment to DirecTV, can I upgrade at this time?
--Assuming yes, what kind of costs am I looking at? I know that there has been some recent talk about DirecTV lowering the up-front fees on their HD-DVR, is that something I could be eligible for? I've also heard about some current customers getting the HD-DVR upgrade for free by just getting to the right Customer Retention CSR....is that something that I could be eligible for?
--Currently, I have just one line coming off the satellite into my receiver, I'm thinking I will need a second line run in, is that correct?
--The DirecTV web site says that a land phone line is required....well I do not have a land line....is this an issue?
Thanks in advance,
Tony
