Just signed up today and the install will happen on July 5. I'm wondering if I ordered the receivers correctly. I only plan to use two TVs, one on each floor of my home. I ordered the HMC so my wife could watch pre-recorded programs on one TV while I watch something else on another. The larger hard drive also factored into my decision. I also ordered an HD receiver, but I'm beginning to wonder if the HD receiver is redundant, since presumably the HMC would cover both TVs. Any reason I should keep the HD receiver?
Note: Just called Direct and asked the same question. They told me that unless I had a Samsung RVU TV, I would need the extra receiver.
Would appreciate if someone could confirm this.
And one final question: My upstairs TV is an older Panasonic EDTV. The video connection from my current DISH receiver is an S-video cable.
Wondering if the Direct HD receivers still have S-video jacks? Eventually, I plan to replace the TV with an HD TV, but for now it serves our purposes.
