Refurbished Hughes

[wgegan]

I just recieved my Hughes Friday. Set it up and it's working great (knock wood). I did notice the fan sounds a bit loud. Also I need a good multiswitch.. will be looking today (but it's currently -23 below, Wisconsin - may have to put on a jacket). Installer will be here Monday afternoon between 1-5 pm.. don't most families work? I'll have to see if he brings me an R15 and let me keep the Hughes.
Also got Showtime free again but only for 2 months this time.
They also made me commit to 2 years.. I argued that the refurbished offer states that no commitments are required but she (and her manager) insisted.. I'll take care of that Monday! She also offered me Showtime and HBO for $12.95 but then said it was expired and said "sorry" lol

Ouch - that's cold!
My installation included a 4x8 powered multiswitch at no extra charge. Check with D* to make sure they are bringing one, and also that it's the right one (they initially had me down for a 3x4).

I had my refurbred Hughes HDVR2 hooked up on Friday. They dropped shipped it to me on Tuesday. The installer put in a NEW multi switch, for free & ran the two new lines to the refurbed model. He called DirecTV & handed me the phone. The CSR wanted to remind me that I would have a 2 year commitment. I then reminded her that on the website it said that the TiVo Blowout sale had NO commitment. She put me on hold & when she got back she said I was right there was no commitment. BTW, the installer thought it was an equipment upgrade & brought a brand new non DVR receiver. Man if I hadn't got the HDVR2 I would have been really P.O.d. Can you imaginge HOW an installer would think a new non DVR receiver could be considered an upgrade.
