In an effort to save you all lots and lots of time on the phone, do not call DirecTV re: the MPEG 4 satellite receiver with DVR (not Tivo). They will read from a script, put you on hold and then forward you to a person who supposedly knows something. Then they will hang up on you. Even though you're a fucking VIP customer. And they acknowledge that you're a fucking VIP customer. Then when you call back and ask to be fast-tracked to the appropriate person, they will tell you that that is unpossible and that you will have to wait in the fucking queue with the rest of the schmoes.

So, my gift to you is this - if you'd like to receive FOX in HD and you want a DVR on your HD satellite, and you have the upgraded 5 LNB dish, you will have to go to Best Buy, who has an exclusive on this box until September 16th or so. By then, the supply will have evaporated to about nothing. DirecTV will not have any of these boxes available for free upgrade until some time in November.

I have the Directv-HD Tivo and have had Fox HD for quite awhile. Do you get the other HD channels and not Fox?
