AM21 now available @ DirecTV.com

Looks like the AM21 can now be ordered through directv.com... once logged in, click on the "Kits and Equipment" link in the top right corner...

Also looks like it is for 'Self Installation' only...

Great news for the HR21 users. Guess since I only have the HR20 that is why I am not seeing it. But good news anyhow. And good job to the web developers for not allowing me to see that.

Not trying to be smart, but do you have an HR21 on your account? Maybe it only shows for those with HR21s.

Didn't think you were being smart. I don't have the HR-21 but I do have the H-21.

That may be why - the AM21 will only currently work with the HR21.

Oh, I just assumed it would work with any of the 21 series. That is going to be a bit of a bummer.

I proceeded to the checkout... looks like tax is $4.63 (specific to state I'm sure)... and shipping is FREE....

Speculation is that it will possibly work with the H21 at some point in the future, but that is not confirmed.

I see it under "add kits and equipment." AirRocker's post makes it look like it's sitting on top of an HR20 but it's actually an HR21 that's sort of "faded back". Makes sense.

Thumbs up

Nice catch AirRocker, hopefully this will make the folks needing the AM21 happy now they can get their OTA channels.

Any other monthly fess associated with it?

Is this an equipment upgrade that resets my 24 month committment?

The answers should be obvious but you just never know ....

My latest understanding from a couple of sources is that as an "accessory" you own it, there are no monthly fees, and does not reset any commitment. Just like purchasing a remote control in that sense.

Cheers,
