My wife accidently erased a call from D* the other day and I'm guessing it was to say I can finally get ahold of the HR20. But I don't know for sure. I was on the waiting list for at least 4-5 weeks.

I tried calling the customer retention and the number asked for a PIN number before proceeding? So then I called customer service and he couldn't answer any questions. So he transfered me to techincal support???

What's the best way to find answers on this?

Thanks.

I'd just call D* and say you got a message on your answering machine saying you need to call in to schedule your HR20 install and see what happens.

Check the local stores in your area for an HR20.

Ended up finally getting through. Now I just have to wait on an install date.


Got a good deal too.

I just bought a HR20-700S from Costco today. It will replace my H10 and an old Tivo . I paid $269.99 for the reciever, and I was wondering if that is a fair price? I haven't opened the box and I can return it. Can I use the two coax cables connected to the Tivo on the HR20-700S?

$299 is the list lease price, so you saved 30 bucks there.
Yes you can use your existing cables as long as they're good quality 3 Ghz RG-6 with copper center conductors. Also - the new AT-9 dish has a built-in multiswitch, so you won't need a new switch unless you're planning on sending signals to more than 2 dual-tuner receivers (like the HR-20 and a DirecTivo for instance.) The only other case where you need the switch is if you have SD locals coming in through a different dish. Then you need the switch.

Lease price??? You mean I don't own the receiver?

Nope

Purchase price is $749 if you really really have to own it.
