What's In The Box?

[Steve]

My install is scheduled for tomorrow, and I want to be sure I have everything on hand that might be necessary. I'm wondering what cables, if any, come in the box with the HR-20? The HR-10 came with HDMI, HDMI>DVI, component and composite audio cables in the box, along with the remote, power cord and 25 or 50 feet of phone wire. Same deal here?

Or do the HR-20's not come in boxes and the installers supply whatever cables are necessary? TIA.

Mine came with the HDMI cable...no HDMI to DVI adapter. I bought a HDMI to DVI adapter from Radioshack for ~$30. I found out later that you can buy these and cables much cheaper from http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp

There are component and composite cables in the box (which I was not interested in). And, BTW, my installer could not speak English very well! :lol: Hope your experience is better.

Cheers,

You get everything except the HDMI to DVI cable in the box

I notice you have 3 HR20s (I only have one). How does the pricing work? Do you pay the upfront "leasing" fee for each one, PLUS $9.99 a month for each one?

Or do you pay $9.99 per month no matter how many you have?

Thanks,
John

$4.95/month each, isn't it? /s

You pay the DVR fee once per account. That's $9.95. You pay an additional receiver (or leased receiver) fee for each receiver after the first one on your account (a DVR is "a" receiver). So that's $4.95 per month for each addition HR20.

And yes, you pay the up-front fee for each one (whatever fee you are able to negotiate with DirecTV).
