HELP! I am not w/Pegasux, but I'm in NRTC

I used to be w/D* for 3+ years, then moved to an NRTC area for the last 2 years. I am interested in purchasing a D*reciever w/TiVo, but can't get any satellite provider to sell me one, saying I have to go through the Co-Op to buy one. But... they can't answer any of my questions, because they don't know what's going on.

Are only Pegasux customers affected by this shakeup, should I wait until next month, or what?? I really want to by a combo unit ASAP...but from where? Will CC let me buy one?, their ad says that certain NRTC's may not support.

Thanks for this great forum!

BB or CC will have no problems selling you one.

I am also in an NRTC (non-Pegasus) region. My NRTC provider would have sold me a 40GB DirecTiVo for $100 plus $5/month "maintenance fee" for the next 2 years. I tried Ultimate Electronics (used to be Audio King) as they had a Hughes for a great price. They asked for my zip code which I naively gave and then they balked as I am in an NRTC region. I went across the street to Best Buy, bought an open box RCA DVR40 for $90, and activated it that evening.

Try Best Buy - it worked for me.
