DVR OTA
Solid Signal
Solidsignal.com is now taking pre-orders and they are charging the full $300. This thread is mainly to educate slickdeals users that this product exists not just about the price. If someone is looking to ditch dish or directv this might be a good option.
DTVPal DVR (OTA DVR) now available for $250
This is a DVR for use with OTA (Over the Air) TV. If you don’t have an antenna then you don’t need this (or maybe you should buy an antenna ). It DOES NOT REQUIRE a monthly fee like Tivo does but it’s only compatible with OTA programming.
For a limited time Dish is offering a $50 instant rebate which drops the price down to $250 from $300:
