Good to hear from an experienced user. I am not naive enough to think that presidential candidates, car dealers, and satellite system promoters are above a little "innocent" obfuscation. I'm looking closer at the offer now and find it states... Full direct duo system includes: $700 -Ant. w/universal mount -Direct PC 32bit PCI card -Direct PC Personal Ed. Sftwr -Hughes brand enhanced DSS receiver (A-23) -a universal lighted remote
The Direct PC dish, PCI card, and Direct PC receiver is offered separately for $300
An upgrade is also offered, making the $300 Direct PC effectively a "Duo" for, you guessed it $400
Needless to say I do not intend to purchase any of these products. My needs do not justify it. I feel by the time internet download becomes economical, DISH will probably be my provider, even if a specialised (or even 2nd) dish is required.

Are there any contradictions to these descriptions, vague omissions that would mislead? Your opinion as an experienced user of this equip. is appreciated.
Once again, DISH has the superior system, IMHO. Regards, bretp |
