Cool. Sounds like s great deal to me.
Is there anyway a new subscriber can get this deal? I want to loose comcrap.
I think the only DVR 508's on sale are from EBAY now, years ago I bought mine new from Sears. Dish Network still enables them, and will replace one if it is defective or has problems. They are supported, and software is updated regularly. The DVR 500, 508, and 510 are all the same, except for hard drive size, and the DVR having a monthly DVR fee.
The 508 is an aging product, it is standard 4x3, and holds up to 80GB, some hack them to get larger hard drives but that voids the warranty. Though it is nice to have no DVR fee, I really am happy to have avoided it for so many years.
Saving the DVR fee month after month adds up over a few years.
Ok, so even if I get one of the DVRs you mention, I will still have to pay a DVR fee? I would also like to NOT PAY the DVR fee. How can I do that?
