This brings up a question I hadn't considered. Could I get the HR10-250 HD and unsubscribe the Satellite locals in favor of OTA HD locals? Ie: Can you order "Total Choice" (no locals) + "HD" package?

PS: When will DirecTV throw in an XM receiver a la Dish/Sirrius' promo?

Sure... There would be no reason why you can't.
But... You will then lose SAT locals on ALL your recievers (if you have more then one)

XM Promotion.... Probably in the works, since XM is basically giving away their Roady2 unit all the time now.

The R10's are really unhackable, unless you are willing to do some hardware surgery to the unit.

The HR10-250s can be "consumer-aided" to do aditional things.

$499 is about the best I have been seing for the HR10-250, as DTV is starting to be a lot less "giving" with the credits.
