Humax DRT 800

[dbustos]

Hey man i got a few questions regarding your DRT800.. I was going to purchase this item when i noticed the price jumped from 319 dollars for the 180 hour DVR to 499 dollars.. The rebate page that is linked to that is for a humax dual tuner tivo dvd with no burner.. So i finally found on tivo's website the rebate for the unit and it still leaves a few questions unanswered.. It says you must purchase the tivo before the 31st of this year and then in a different area it said "Service must be activated by 11/30/06, remain active for a minimum of 30 days" which i don't understand if they are giving me until the 31st of this month why it would need to be activated by the 30th of last month.. So anyways i kept reading and it didn't say anything about the service per say.. Now i already own two Tivo's with a lifetime service.. So i should only be charged 6-7 dollars for the service.. And it didn't say if that was allowed in this rebate..


Hope you can make sense of all these questions..

Sorry - the rebate linked is out of date, but there is currently a $180 rebate. The current terms are here (http://www.tivo.com/2.6.1.16.asp).

You can use the multi-unit per account discount rate and still qualify for the rebate. So you should only be paying $6.95/month, and you'll still get the $180 rebate.

My Humax DRT800 isn't showing the other tivo's connected throughout the house nor can the other tivos throughout the house access those recordings on the humax. I may not have asked this and have just purchased a huge freakin lemon at this point.. I don't know if i can return this item to your store..

Can i use the multiroom feature like all the other series 2 tivos with this humax DRT800 or am i stuck with a huge lemon.. I am pretty sure the RS-TX20 can use the multi room feature and i was told this machine does all the same things as the RS-TX20 minus the basic tivo service offered for free with the toshiba..

Have you gone online and set the Multi-room Viewing status on the account and on each unit to "yes"?

You are very right.. i will need to activate the tivo before i can use the multiroom function.. I completely forgot.. i wanted to make sure i can use the multiroom function before i activated it..

Ha.. looks like there is the problem.. Thanks a million buddy.

So i went ahead and purchased this tivo from ya'll and now i am trying to fill out the mail-in rebate.. I didn't get a receipt in the box with the purchase.. So how do i go about getting a reciept??

Email (mailto:info@weaknees.com) us and we can send another, or you can just use the initial email confirmation that you received when you placed the order. That's what we consider to be the receipt.
