I'm asking this on behalf of my neighbor who has DirecTV service. They have an HDTV and a regular TiVo today but are considering upgrading to get HD. It's mainly for sports, i.e. football. My wife told them we've got an OTA receiver we no longer need and I have no problem selling it to them, but I did suggest they call D* and see what they can get from them.
They've been a customer for a "few" years and I'll presume they're in good standing with D*.
What would others suggest ?? We're in Dayton OH, so I suspect there's no HD locals coming anytime soon, if that's a factor in getting the new MPEG4 HD-DVRs.
