HD Receivers

[A+]

where can i find one for under $100.....are they even out there? i have direct tv btw

[miketyler]

lots of HR10-250's out there for <$100. They are 250 hr DVR's and will record up to 40 hrs of HD material. They use the TiVo interface also. They do not do mpeg4 however.

Where's a good place to get one? I really dont care about it's memory and all that stuff, just want hd

[miketyler]

eBay or Craigslist. Should find plenty for around $50ea. They are great receivers and will pickup OTA HD as well. However, thenewest HD channels that DirecTV has added are in mpeg4 and the HR10-250 will not be compatible.

you're just looking for an hd sat receiver for directv?
i think they are $100 from directv directly. they will extend your contract however.
you can buy used third party but you will need a new access card from D* which is $25.

It does Cost $100 from direct tv but the lady on the phone told me it would be cheaper to buy one somewhere else but I didn't know where. I'm probably gonna end getting the one from those assholes. Motherfuckers told me that if I switched from dish they would give me HD, I did. After the install I called and ask where the he'll the hd channels were they said that was gonna cost extra

if you signed up as a new customer you should have had your choice to a free hd box or a free dvr box with a hd dvr as a $100 upgrade.

hd channels are $10/mo. dvr is $5/mo. a lot of packages include hd+dvr as part of the price.

be sure to call direct tv before buying. I would say 99% of the receivers that people are selling as new are pre leased units meaning you'll have to return it to DTV after you disconnect your service.

If you have been a DTV customer for more than 6 months and paid your bills on time call DTV and they'll send you another HD receiver for free (leased)

When I signed up with DTV (after leaving dish network, horrible company btw) they said they would only give me one HD DVR at sign up. I tried my best to get a second for free, I did get them down to 150.00 for the upgrade before she told me in a soft voice about paying my bill with them on time for 6 months and calling back to get the free unit. DTV is very good about at customer service.

thats typically the deal. one or the other. sometimes i have seen people (like buzzo) get and HD DVR.

you can call them and tell them they said you were supposed to get an HD DVR and try that route.
