Well I was hoping they would give me a motorola 6200 not a DVR, and the tech said they have them. I think the frontdesk lady was trying to make a sell. Anyway, Im calling the tech back (since he knows what equipment they have) and see if they have a non-DVR box. The one im trading in is just an older motorola dtv cable box (non-dvr). And yes, I can understand paying for the DVR box, but if they have (or can order) a motorola box that would be much nicer. -Ryan
