THanks alot guys for the responses so far. I called them both and it seems that there is alot of give and take between them. I thought that at least one of them would have rental HD boxes by now. Saying that, I guess I can add a decoder when i am ready. I have heard nothing but good praise from the Tivo owners out there. THey told me they have a package that includes one for $249..for 2 rooms, 1 Tivo though.all I need... Can I just add a Tivo later or the combo satbox/TIvo system when they are a bit more affordable? I really want it now but dont want to put up so much money up front...I guess I cannot have everything. Looks like I'll bite on basic plus and HBO package for now.
AS for a HD box, is the RCA DTC100 still the king?...forgive me, but I have had TWC for faaar too long...
Excited, but gonna miss G4 (games) channel and GOlf Channel as well.
WHat esle is there to purchase for HD besides the oval dish and decoder? thanks again everyone!
