Hi there, I live in Vaughan which is above Toronto. I have rogers and will be getting their HD box soon. I see on their site they have about 3 different models. does anyone know which one i'd get? or do i get to choose?

Your only choice will be whether you want just an HD box, or an HD box including a PVR so you can record shows. The latter obviously costs more.

then why do they show you 3 options on this site?

velocci Thanks for the link, but it contains some pretty old STBs.

I'd suggest that you request either an SA4250HD (STB - which is not included in your link) or an SA8300HD (PVR) since they're the latest models - and yes you can usually request, or pick up from a Rogers outlet.

The OP's link also inclue the SA8000, which was still available when I rented a PVR.

That is one to avoid - but you need to be specific when renting, and look at the box. If you just ask for a hidef PVR, they may give you whatever they have the most of in stock at that moment.

I failed to actually read the box I was given, and didn't find out that I had the 8000 until I got home and opened the box.

Before you pick up HD box, call up Rogers & tell them you recently purchased a new TV
They will ask you for a coupon number (just bs a bit trying to "find" it on your receipt)
They dont really care as its only tracking to comp the store you bought tv from; they will give you a free HD box (12 months promo) or HD PVR (6 months) and the normal HD TV pack (12 months)
