I would like to get a DVR receiver and replace an old Direct TV receiver that I purchased 14 years ago. The question that I have is why will Direct TV give new subscribers a DVR receiver free if they sign up but will not replace an old receiver with the newer DVR receiver for a loyal customer who has maintained an active account for more than 14 years? This makes no sense to me. I would have to cancel my servcie and wait a period of time and then join again later as a new customer to get a new DVR receiver. It makes common sense to upgrade old equipment to keep a loyal customer who never has a billing issue. Is there any way to do this without changing to DISH network? I just do not think that DISH network has the same channel offerings as Direct TV. You feeback is greatly appreciated.

FREE HD Receiver Upgrade or $199 HD-DVR Upgrade (June 9, 2006 - January 31, 2007) - DISH Network has reduced the HD receiver upgrade fee from $49.99 to free, and reduced the HD-DVR upgrade fee to only $199! This, of course, is to promote our superior HD programming packages!

I would emagine the price for the HD-DVR will be free also sometime in the near future.

"The new phone, which is still in the development stage, is expected to be compatible with a new satellite broadcasting service that is planned to launch in South Korea and Japan later this year.

The planned handset will be based around a new chip developed by Samsung which was announced this week. The chip includes an Arm Ltd. processor core and can decode the satellite broadcasts as well as functions such as billing for pay-per-view services, the company said. "

I can see this being very popular with in the next two years, but it will take some time to catch on. I just can’t see me using it.
