Directv only provider who you have to pay for DVR device

dish network HD-DVR free to use just pay for service
cable providers HD-DVR free to use just pay for service

directv HD-DVR $199 & they don't refund the money you paid for the device when u cancel or when contract ends or let you keep the device for that matter.

hope they change there policy by next year when there new Satellite comes online

$199? Website says $299.

I would already have one if it wasn't for that.

Re: Directv only provider who you have to pay for DVR device

The list price is $299 but unlike buying a Saturn auto you can usually negotiate with DirecTV and pay much less. There's a thread, also at DBSTalk, where folks have said what they've done to get deals with DirecTV, some $199, some $99 and some $19.99 or free. And as for Dish, usually if you want a 2nd DVR you also have to pay to get one, the 1st is the only 'free' one.

I got mine for free from DirecTV. I got mine last Dec. I doubt anyone will get one for less than $99 now.

Re: Directv only provider who you have to pay for DVR device

I don't know about now, but 2 months ago I recieved my 2nd and 3rd HR20 for shipping & handling ($19.9?). So in total, I have 3 HR20s which I paid a grand total of $60 for. I did not have to haggle to get this price, they were all offered to me this way. The monthly mirror fee of ~$12 for both recievers 2 and 3 are much less than I'd be charged with Comcast or FiosTv.

Re: Directv only provider who you have to pay for DVR device

Got my HR20 free with a 2yr agreement, which I was happy to do, I`ve had DTV for 5 years now, no problems.

I`m using the VOD features, they work quite well over my fios connection. Dont have to worry about getting capped either heh..

They have a pretty good selection on the VOD, theyre building some more HD content now. The HR20 uses a queue system, so I just queue up some programs at night and let it do its thing, then check em all out the next day.

Right now its free, but if they plan to charge for it, I will drop it. Dont need it that bad. Joost works well enuf for that.

I got my first 2 DVRs for free with my install along with 2 regular boxes. Then I got them replaced for free as well. I don't expect to pay much for my HD upgrade either.

The DirecTV DVR fee is $5 a month for all boxes which is half and the locals are included where they aren't with Dish.

Besides, no NFL Sunday Ticket.

One run on sentence that makes no clear point. What is it that you are trying to say?
