Re: sattelite?

no i bought it new...well my parents did on there account
when i was looking they were sold out all over calgary but that was just after christmas

It is going to continue to be tough to find 6120's if you are a new customer. Bell is rapidly changing to rental only for new clients. FS / BB are getting out of selling receivers completely.

Re: sattelite?

I can understand not renting modems or normal cable boxes, but with these PVRs, renting made sense to me.

Unit: 600 bucks.
Rent: 25/month for 24 months = 600 bucks. But you get 250 off in credits/discount.

And in 2 years, more than double the recording time for the same money (Moore's law still w1ns), so swap for a new unit.

I'm a cheap bastard but I don't see the benefit to buying these high end cable boxes?

Re: sattelite?

I don't like the pansat recievers, for a tiny bit more money you can but a way better viewsat one.

Re: sattelite?

yea once it gets here i then have to phone bell and have them add the 10$ a month HDTV channels which is odd they don't put it in the dumb packages but whatever.

yea i wonder if the thing comes with a DVI or component cables ...

It comes with component, Svideo, and standard RCA's, but no DVI cable.....I picked mine up cheap at walmart, it works great...

Re: sattelite?

It actually comes with component cables? Wow. I just assumed I'd have to go buy some before Friday.
