I can't attest the the reliability of the HD DVR but you can call them up saying you were thinking about cancelling thier service (since you've obviously been with them for a long time if you own your receivers) because of problems with your current unit and also that you wanted to upgrade to HD and Dish is giving thier HD DVR for free right now. When we called to do this (and mind you, we'd only been with them for a year, so since you've been with them longer you may get a better deal) we were offered the HD DVR for $99 and then $10 off for 12 months. I've heard some people who've been with them longer get offered the HD DVR for free, so it depends who you get on the phone.

We ultimately decided to cancel anyway (we are with Dish now--their HD DVR is excellent) but it's worth a shot. If you're going to dish out the money for another receiver, might as well get the HD DVR if you can get it for $99 or less!! Do remember though it would be leased and you'd be signing a new 2 year contract....

That is a good deal no doubt.DISH's low or no cost HDDVR with a 18 month commitment.Don't know when D* will get up their 60 or 70 new HD channels.Some say this fall others say alittle later.Time will tell.But I would imagine
that DirecTV's HD plans just maybe the reason for DISH's low or no cost HDDVR.For
those that can't wait it sounds like a good deal.

Of course unfortunately DISH and DirecTV don't carry all of the same channels.SD or HD.

Yeah, we are pleased with Dish right now--we had DirecTV for a year and had so many problems with their SD DVR that the Dish HD DVR is AMAZING compared to it. We actually would have stayed with DirecTV if they would have offered us something somewhat close to Dish's offer (free HDDVR, $20 off 10 months, 18 month commitment) and they did offer us the $99 HDDVR and $10 off for 12 months plus 2 year commitment. We thought about it and called back to see if that was their best offer, and the CSR actually TOOK AWAY things they previously offered, so we dropped them. We figured by the time DirecTV actually gets all their HD channels going (whenever that'll be) our 18 month contract with Dish will be over and we can then decide to stay, go switch again, or HOPEFULLY Verizon FIOS will be in our area and we'll definitely go with them.
