Circuit city has the standard deal for new DTV subs plus a 75 gift card by mail.

I had been planning on doing the expertsat route on thursday when I order but the 75 card beats the free dvd player

Does anyone know if I get the 2 room install can I replace a reciever with a dvr later without penalty? (my initial set up will be either 1 room with a dvr or 2 room with dvr).

I bought a HDVR2 and RCA receiver from CC this Fall. I took a look at the receipt I signed with the agreement for programming and it looks like you have to keep any receivers you get subbed for a year. It says "The programming package must be maintained for a period of 12 consecutive months (without interruption) for each DIRECTV system purchased by you, including additional DIRECTV receivers...". I have read on one of the DBS boards that aslong as you maintain programming, you can switch all but the primary receiver. The agreement sounds like all receivers have to be active for a year. Maybe it would be best to get 2 TiVos whenyou sign up or ask the sales guys, but it's sometimes hard to know which one knows what he's talking about.:)

The rebates came in about a month, a little quickerthan I thought they would. I used the $75 gift card for an Xbox for my boys this Christmas, so everybody's happy.:)
