I have finally decided to leave TWC and switch over to DirecTV. I've always had cable and internet with TWC, and not too long ago switched my phone over to them. However they then continued to raise my price every few months, and the last two times when calling customer retention they wouldn't budge.
So for the first year I'll be saving around $75 / month over TWC, and once that first year is over I'll still be $20 less than TWC.
I have a few equipment questions. The install isn't set until next Friday - but do they have different models of HD DVR equipment? What are the differences? Should I hope for one over the other? Do they all have antenna inputs that will allow me to pull OTA channels through the receiver if I choose?
Also I have our main HDTV in the living room, then in my bedroom I have an older EDTV - so I was thinking I would get an HD box for that TV so I could watch some HD content on it. But they stated if I get a 2nd HD box then I would be able to pull the recorded content off the main DVR, so they would have to charge me $10/month for whole home DVR.
I didn't think it was worth it since that TV only gets used when the Brewer games go into extra innings or they are playing out West and we turn the TV on while we lay in bed. But does anyone know if I'm able to pick up a used HD box for that TV? If so would I be able to watch HD content - and if so would it also be able to pull the recorded shows off the DVR?
