I am curious for all people interested in Directv as I am also one of them... Why would I pay an upfront cost for HD boxes with or without DVR when I can go to Dish or comcrap and not have to pay upfront cost... I don't see why people would pay that money for a box they are leasing.
You aren't leasing the box from DirectTV. Also, they do give them away for free - its an instant online rebate. Like anything else, they will do it for free, you just have to be an informed customer. Now, the HD DVR boxes still cost $100 after the rebate, but you're not leasing it.

I just went to directvs website and they say its a lease
Upgrade your lease to a DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR for just $99 after $100 instant rebate when you order online at DIRECTV.com. Enjoy both crystal clear HD and standard–definition programming, as well as industry–leading digital video recording (DVR). With this receiver, it's TV on your terms. Record hours and hours of both HD and SD programming. Even record an entire season of your favorite show. Pause, rewind and replay live TV. And more. You're in control.
Two–year programming commitment and activation of DVR service ($5.99/mo.) and HD Access ($9.99/mo.) required. Rebate offer ends 1/31/08 and is for new lease customers only; credit card required. Limit one rebate per account. Customers receiving mail–in rebate(s) from DIRECTV are not eligible.
A multi–satellite dish and high–definition television monitor are also required.
You can order up to 6 DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR receivers.
I'm in NJ. I switched from Cablevision to Verizon fios and the PQ in standard def channels was night and day, Fios being better. The HD channels were also better but not as drastic as the standard def difference. I also got a good deal with the triple package. Free HDTV too (19 inch, ehh).
Fios should definately be on your list if it's available in your area.
I am dying for Fios... Still not in my area yet... Can't really get any details on when... I just want to shove Comcasts growing prices up their A** We need competition.

Thats definitely odd... I couldn't tell you. My understanding is that they were purchased.
With Dish, the receiver is mine (not that its any use without the service anyways), I didn't buy it (free with service), and I don't get charged any leasing fee *shrug*
Fios not in my area either. Am going to go with comcast for now. Maybe at another time, or when we move we can give the dish a try. I do appreciate everyones replies too.
Isn't there a way to modify a post? After talking with my hub, he said to call Direct TV/Verizon to see what their packages are. So, right now, I am not sure what we are doing.lol

I have Direct TV and I love it! I will never return to cable again. Of course I think I have way too many channels and my bill is getting larger but I still love it. I called them once to get a pay movie...and they told me I was their best customer...humm, perhaps I need to cut back a bit : )
