I see.  I called them the other day about a DVR receiver so I could record
movies to the receiver and them transfer them later on to disc.  I didn't
ask if the DVR receivers were the HD ones, but I'll bet they are.  I
already have a flat panel HD TV with other capabilities, but so far, the
picture I receive is very good.  I'm waiting for all of the channels to go
HD before I shell out $99 for a HD receiver.  After all, the price may be
lower by then.  Right now, I can't seem to get past the fish hooks in my
pocket.  (-:
