Couple of Questions before I Leave E*....

[jeremiahpreston]

OK with the upcoming discount on the HD DVR with D* I think that I am all but done with E* and was looking for some input on a couple of things. The first was with all of the HD that D* has I was wondering if it was HD LITE or not? Along with that question is if anyone has switched from E* HD to the new D* HD is there a big PQ diffrence? The last question was if anyone knows if I would still be able to get an HD DVR that would have an over the air tuner in it, I would really like that option as I am use to having it with E*. With that question if it is possible which model do I need to ask for? Thanks for the help.

YES the HR20 has OTA, BUT there will be no guarantees made to you by DirecTV CSRs that your installer will actually have and be able to provide that exact model; they likely will have only the HR21 in their stock.

There will be an external dual OTA tuner box for the HR21. It was shown at CES.

When will said box (dual OTA) be availible for the consumer? How much?

It will be available for consumers, but I haven't seen any pricing yet.
