To your earlier question about a 3 HD box limit on DISH. That is true for leased boxes. If you buy at least one of them, they wave that constraint (example 3 leased and one bought). I'm assuming they are attempting to limit their liability thinking that someone might leave town with their boxes (although they are the only people who can turn them back on).


To your other point on DirectTV matching; I've been doing that for years with Comcast versus USwest (high speed), garbage collection companies, landlines, etc.

In 2.5 yrs I've been through 6 722s (the newer multiple room DVR) and 3 622s (in another room). Some of the 722s broke within a day of setting them up (one lasting less than an hour), they were refurbished, apparently
