Seems like you should be getting the 2004 Voracious poster of the year award...

Yes, I signed up for the HD DirecTV deal yesterday. Unforutnately, if you are under 2 years of service, it'll cost $199. OK, w/ me since they are upgrading my dish and giving me a rcvr w/ it. Hopefully I can convince the installer to help me run the wires to my wiring panel.

I did this in prep for the HD DirecTivo coming in April. Also, it appears the HD receiver (both standard and HD Tivo) will support DVI, which is supported by my plasma.

More detail on the AVS Forum.
