ReplayTV used to have FF ads, but the were done away with. I have tried every PVR out UltimateTV was the best. I am constantly missing the features that UltimateTV has but Tivo doesn't. I am about to dump DirecTV, so it's time to check out Dish's DVR's.

This price reduction scheme no longer works, A CSR informed me that this info was posted on "internet forums" and they have stopped offering the reduced rate. :)

I think it's called "The Anand Effect"

Yes, I called about a week ago and this no longer works :(

They just want to cancel it right away...

which is what I might as well do because comcast is offering their dvr for $9.99 anyway and that comes with 120GB DVR.

They are great for 120GB FREE boxes, but I miss the features of my ReplayTV and TiVo. But, without having a build in tuner to the actual box, using IR blasters suck.
