Hee hee:
DirecTV: "Customer service, how may I help you?"
Me: "Um, yeah, I got tired of my H20 rebooting every day, so I poured alcohol in it and set it on fire to see how long it would continue to operate. . .Anywhoo, runs about 2 minutes with 8" flames coming out the vent ports on top. It's, um, no longer functional, can I get a new one?"
DirecTV: "Looks like you're on the replacement plan, we'll send someone out tomorrow to replace the charred hulk of your H20 with a new one."
I'd love to see the look on the face of the guy who gets it at the refurb center.
I bet they'd cancel my replacement plan after that.

The $5.99 plan covers anything that goes wrong, including if your dog chews the cable, your wife hits it with the weedwhacker, you back into your dish with your truck, if lightning fries your whole system, or if you are adding new electrical wiring to your house, short something out, and electrically fry all your recievers (which I encountered one time).
So acts of God and acts of stupidity are included. And unlike others here in DSLR that have complained it took forever to get a cable tech or telco tech to fix their cable/phone problems, DirecTV has 72 hours to fix your problem when you call in, whether that fix be over the phone, or sending a tech to your house.
