Is this info correct about a new customer?

[miguelaqui]

I was looking at the webpage and they have the HD DVR to RENT for $399.

Is that correct? $299 to rent? and a 24 month commitment.

If this is the case...Dish's deal is a lot better than I thought!! I could buy the MPEG 4 DVR for $499, not have a commitment, then sell it when I'm through with it.

By the way...does that machine have a UHF remote? Will my off-air locals have the info on the guide?

Thanks

No, it's not real, they put up that page just to make Dish Net customers come here and post.

No it does not have a UHF remote, and it does not have MPEG4 capabilities. Directv hasn't woken up yet that they are a year out of date with this product and leasing concept.

Thanks...I just wanted to make sure that I was correct.

I'm having a hard time understanding why so many people flock to DTV. There are about twice as many DTV dishes as there are Dish Network dishes in this area.

I just like to check, from time to time, to see if I could get a better deal.

Let's see it I can answer your question.1st D* has NFL Prime Ticket their receivers
are more stable.D* only charges 1 month to start not 2 like E*.D*'s locals are cheaper $3 D* doesn't have alot of because we can fees like E*.D* Total Choice
package has several channels that E* has in their AT180 and with locals the price
of Total Choice is the same as AT120 with locals.Also come contract time customers know that D* won't play musical chairs with their channels.Their receivers have more features their D11 beats the DP311.D* has channels that Charlie won't add unless he can get them cheap.If you had to buy the D11 it's cheaper than the DP311.D* has promised bandwith capacity for 150 national channels and 1500 local channels in HD in 2007.D*also has free concerts and a larger selection on PPV.

If you had to buy the D11 it's cheaper than the DP311.D*

Yes, but doesn't any new customer even if they buy the equipment upfront, have a 12 month commitment?

Yes and normally it's still a lease so if you can go under the new customer like I did
they installed the receiver and the triple LNB dish.If at anytime after 12 months if
I decide to cancel(I sincerely doubt it)but if I did Directv would want the receiver back but not the dish or the LNBs like DISH does.For a HD receiver or DVR it's 24
months.This is my 1st lease and to me I like it if the receiver takes a dump they replace it same with new technology they replace it.
