Dealers are being told that as of 3/1/06, D* will be going to all leased equipt.
In addition,the H/D package for TC Premiere will go down, and that they(D*)
will be looking for D* Beta testers for Broadband service. :o

Interesting - my quick read shows that "mirroring charges" will not be charged for leased receivers - rather just the "lease fee".

Will they also go away for our currently owned receivers?

Edit: looks like I found the answer: no

There's a whole discussion going on about this here (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=281632)

Including the original letter to D* dealers and more.
