I plan on giving the AAA DirecTV number a call today to get the ball rolling on new service. I also have my neighbor's account number for that referral credit as well. I plan on the whole house DVR with three other receivers. Is there anything special I should ask for or take what they offer in terms of boxes, etc. I see the various model numbers tossed around here and as a newbie, I am a bit overwhelmed. We have three TV's that get 96% of the TV viewing and need to record three things at once tops. Two of those are HDTV's and the other two are old school square tubes. One of them will be replaced with an HDTV soon though.
