Need to upgrade R15 receivers now?

Yesterday, I had to put in for a move for my service.

The customer rep was great. He gave me Sunday Ticket with Premier pkg for 74.99/month for 4 months.
A free DVR receiver
$10 off my bill for 6 months.

He also said the system was telling him I need to upgrade one of my receivers.
I currently have:
R15-300
R15-100 (or 600 - not in my room, so I don't know)
H20-600
HR20-100

Anyone know if any of those need to be upgraded? And why? I can't remember, but I am sure he said it was one of the DVR's.

None of those should need to be upgraded for any reason. As far as I know the only ones they are actively replacing are older Mpeg2 only hd receivers like the HR10-250
If you have an H10 or HR10 active on your account (you may not be using it, but it's probably active on the account somewhere), that'd trigger that replacement. Unless there's a promotion that I'm not familiar with...
If your locals are in MPEG4 they'll replace equipment for that as well, won't they?
only am in possession of the receivers listed above. I have Never had a mpeg 2 receiver. The customer service rep didn't know why that message came up either
Slight correction, Tim. All your receivers get MPEG2. The SD receivers are MPEG2 only. What you mean is that you never had an MPEG2-only HD receiver (an HR10).

Also, which one did the system say needed replacing?
However, you may be moving to an area where DirecTV is all MPEG4, so they may swap out both your R15s with R22's.
That means my R10 will be useless at some point, correct?
That is my last TiVo, I'll be bummed.........

Not useless. But some channels/features will be missing
