This is in response to lit chick who already has a TiVo with a lifetime subscription and is thinking of getting a dual tuner. I think you would be better off buying from a retailer like Amazon. Stay tuned for the rebate stipulations which are supposed to bring the net price of the box down to $99. If the prepaid fees to qualify for the rebate are $155 (as they were in the past), at $6.95 per month the prepayment will cover your first 22 months of service. Thus, for about the price of the one-year package, you will instead get 22 months of service because of the multi-service discount.

Anyone from Amazon, Is the rebate coming back? I've been waiting for it because I would like to buy from Amazon, but if not, I'll go to another retailer who is offering the $300 on the D300 + 16-85.Thanks.

I did have the same problem but contacted Amazon support. They were very useful and put a credit the equivalent of the discount on my account. This way, a few minutes later when I was finally able to complete the purchase, the $30 discount showed at check-out and I was able to get the drive at the deal price. You can try contacting them in case they would do the same for you. I received my drive today and am in the process of installing it. Good luck!

Well, I missed the boat on Amazon's initial price of $2849. I'm looking to be just under $3K for the TV, Blu-Ray, and Starter Kit, if possible. US Appliance is now offering a $400 coupon. The total is now $3078, after the $400 coupon and the $30 Blu-Ray coupon. I called to verify. The guy I spoke to seemed very nice and assured me that they are reputable, however, I have read some pretty mediocre reviews about them, so I've decided to wait it out a bit more, until Amazon drops their prices again.

I assumed it was factory refurbished, but don't know for certain. Purchased from BestBuyDirect2u, and listed as 1 year warranty and 30 days free support. I also assumed that since this is apparently part of Best Buy, they get the refurbs from manufacturer, but this seller is the only one who can truly answer your question. I only paid $156+ for mine, although I see this seller is now selling for $189 + shipping. Still, I am extremely pleased with the item and purchased it last August. My surround sound system installer recommended this remote over the new ones IF I could get such an awesome price. With some of the negative reviews, I assume that some people must just get lemons.

I saw this rebate that you are talking about, but it was a $200 "rebate" towards football fan gear or something like that. I bought this TV about a month ago and had been checking the price everyday, that is how I know this. I also saw a Samsung commercial that talked about it last night.

How were you able to determine that it was a faulty tuner and not user error? I am going through the same situation, although it is over the air and not cable. I was told that I could plug in a standard antenna and receive digital as well as HD channels due to the HD tuner. Please educate me in this matter as I am not versed in this matter.

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

I thought the same thing. When my Power Elite HD4 (with four programs) broke in less than 60 days, I needed something comparable while the warranty repair (6-8 weeks!) was done. I picked up the Elite Digital HD Pro 2 because it said "Four Digital Sound Processing Channels", and I assumed incorrectly that that meant the same four programs. It isn't; the HD Pro 2 only has one program, and for me this is far from acceptable. Everything is either too loud or not loud enough, even though I don't change the volume. I don't understand what the four channels mean or how they come into play.

I contacted them aswell and they told me they would Contact me within 48 hours and they didn't. At first they told me to try the rebate then they told me not to and to wait. I don't like having $150 in limbo. Also now they changed the rebate information on the link page for the rebate to say July 3, 2006 even though the rebate expires June 3, 2006.

I'm in a similar situation friendlyherb. I don't have/want cable. The tv I now have is a relatively new Samsung analog tv (with separate antenna on top).I ordered the DTV converter box for the coupon several weeks ago(my reciept stated it would be in mailed out 1-2-09 and should arrive in nlt 10 days). So far I have not recieved the 2 ordered through the mails (stolen in the mails or never sent).bottomline: I'll take my chances with the converter box with/without a coupon, then go from there. I'll wait to see how all this analog-to-digital nonsense plays out first. If i go without a tv in the interim so be it. Probably better for my mental health anyway.

Does anyone have the coupon code for $100 off the BD-P4600 unit? I saw it advertised on the site a couple of days ago, but haven't seen it since. I think the code ran until Dec 31 2009.

Your TV should have a menu button. Go to antenna setup, then scan the area for channels. I had very bad luck working with Antenna Deals. They sent me the wrong Antenna, so I sent it back. They say they never received it, so I lost $85 plus the $13 in shipping unit back to them. They never provided an RMA number, only an address to ship the unit to. Recently sent them an email, I have still not heard back from them. I would not do any business with Antenna Deals, they are not honest. I then bought the unit from Amazon. Amazon was great. Problem was, the HD 8000 unit did not work. I was not able to scan anything, so Amazon processed the return of the unit. I got a partial refund on that one. I still do not have an antenna. I plan on going to a local retailer to buy one, in case it does not work, so I can return it. I would recommend, not to buy an antenna over the internet. Too many issues may arise. Good luck&gt; Probe

I have been watching the price of this HDTV as well and I think that the practice of offering a coupon (which implies a discount) but then increasing the price by more than the value of the coupon is very misleading. It would seem from the comments above/below that other consumers feel the same way.

thank you for your response- I found a discussion on yahoo yesterday that explained the antenna pretty well- basically that the so called "HD antenna the retailers are selling is hype and not really needed .
