I am in SE Michigan too. Called Monday (as I had been on "the list" for 7 weeks) and I was given an install date. Call them up and be polite but persistent.

Wow, I get a headache trying to read Sonic Rob's posts. The sentence structure and spelling killed it for me, I had to stop reading. Sorry you loved Voom, but it is what it is. You had choices, now you have to live with your decisions or buy your way out.

Retention first offered it to me for $399 (2 months ago). Laughed at them. They came back with $320, with $150 instant bill credit and free showtime and HBO for 6 months. Told them looks like I will be a Charter customer next week. They changed it to $318 with $150 instant credit and another...

I have been on it for 2 months now. I have called repeatedly to complain and to seek an answer as to when they will be "getting more instock." The reason I put that in quotes is because one call, after being eleivated repeatedly, a CSR finally told me that they are not sold out and...

What about hitting up ebay for one?

Sorry, typo on my part, meant to say HR20 in that post...

I also wanted to add that I am surpsrised that you are getting an H20. I was told by a retention specialist that they have stopped shipping all H20s until they can get a number of the software bugs worked out. Guess that is not entirely true.

Another major difference (to me at least) is the H20 does not have dual live tuners. What this means is in your current Tivo, you can switch between the two tuners. Say for example you are watching 2 football games. You pause tuner 1, watch tuner 2 live for 20 mintues, pause it, then go back...

Another interesting point about the DirecTV "wait list" for the HR20s: I have been going back and forth with D* over the fact that they claim to have no idea when they will clear their waitlist. Finally, after being "elevated" by support several times, I was told that they have PLENTY of HR20s...

Sweet. Thanks for the info. Looks like I made an even better deal with them than I thought (I got the HR20 for $20). Appreciate the help!

Hello - I just upgraded this morning to the HR20 (I'm on the wait list) and I have a few questions I forgot to ask the CSR, so I hope you can help me. 1) I already have a SD Tivo upstairs, so I am already paying the D* DVR fee. Will I be charged another $5/mo. to run the second line to...

Well, I gave it a shot, and got a deal I can live with. Maybe not the best, but it will work. I pay $318, then get an immediate $150 credit. I also get $10 off for 12 months and $5 off for 6 months. All toll, I end up paying $18. I can live with that.

I searched high and low and could not find the answer, so I hope you all can help me. I am looking to upgrade my H20 to a HR20, but could not find informtion on what the current rates through DTV are. When I followed this a month or two ago some people were paying $300 to lease them...

I am in the media business and this type of thing has been a hot topic at my company. From what our legal department has told us on several occasions is that under fair use you cannot post, e-mail or otherwise transmit an entire article - whether you paid for it or it was free. Further, it is...

My locals in HD are working. I have an off an on issue with sound clipping, but other than that, the picture is good.

what software version are people using? My history shows an upgrad of software version 000A on the date of install...

Those of you that are getting your locals in HD in the Detroit areas - when they are working do you notice the sound clipping very briefly every 20 - 30 seconds? It drives me nuts.

I was having horrible lip-synch issues with WJBK (Fox-2) in HD yesterday. I had to switch over to the NY HD feed.

mine looks fantastic...I am watching the local Detroit station on the new mp4 system..

Well, say a little prayer for me. I am expecting Microtech tomorrow. For some reason my dish keeps losing signal on the sat at 100 degrees. It is back working today after being off a good part of the weekend. $20 says it will be working when they get here and they do not do anything...

Well I get to deal with Michigan Microtech again. I am not getting signal on the sat at 110 degrees at all. None of my three receivers are receiving signal from that sat. It has worked off and on since the install a little less than 2 weeks ago. When I called D* they tried to tell me I owed...

If it makes you feel any better you are not missing out on the Lions game. They have a message up saying they are having technical difficulties on WJBK...so irritating...

Coax switch...

I am in Livingston County, and my reception has been great with the new dish and receiver. Now, it really hasn't rained or anythign yet, so that will be the next test. As for getting it installed, I called to change some info on my bill and asked for the upgrade. I was transferred to the...

I agree with that. My installer came out last Friday for my upgrade and informed me that I would not be getting HD locals for about a month. I told him I bet they are on as soon as we fire it up, he said no way. As soon as we got in the house, there they were in all their local HD glory. He...
