Got new receiver with the new account along with the wireless Genie for the back tv. I did have to send the old receiver back but they sent me a box and prepaid return label so off it went. With the new receiver, she can record 5 programs at once and bore me to death at a later date with them.
Looked into the ATT deal but was told in the store that the Direct/ATT deal was off for now because they were redoing the pricing plan. It wouldn't save a bunch of money anyway so the wife is still on the Verizon plan.
