Except that it's not the HR20-250 but rather the HR20-700. You're also about the 5 millionth person to use the improper model number.

That's true, but when I looked at the Best buy ad earlier, it actually had the model number listed as HR20-250, not HR20-700, even though we know that's the right model number.

According to D* the 250 is the box number for Bestbuy and the 700 is box number for the unites they will offer.

It's the same box.

I just ordered mine and it is still listed as the HR20-250 from bestbuy.com. I was informed by D* when I had called tonight after reading the email that I have to though bestbuy since they can offier it yet to areas out side of L.A..

I think D* is tracking where people get their equipment from.

I've told you 10 million times to stop exaggerating.
