I am about to move back home from school and out of the world of cable. I WANT Directv, but I think I'm going to get Dish, at least for a little while. I just bought an HDTV, and I want an HD receiver. I also want a DVR for another room (SD, HDDVR is way too expensive). I then want a standard receiver for a 3rd room. To get this with Directv I am going to have to get the 3 room system with tivo for $100 -$50 rebate and then buy a HD box at $299 minimum. I can get an 811 HD box, 522 PVR and a standard box from dish for free with no commitment. I really really like Directv better, their service, receivers, etc as I've had both in the past, but they don't seem like they want new customers. Are there any good deals that are out there or any way to get into Directv without having to spend $400-500?
