I think the $100 card says something about only being good on new activations, so I'm not sure if you can use it on transferred service from another box. But even if you can't, you could sell the card to someone else I'd think. I agree the 240s are great, the 2xx family were the best of the S2s. But the S2DT is actually a bit faster - twice the RAM and a faster CPU. So you shouldn't have any trouble moving to an S2DT. I’m not sure if that will work.

Am I right about that? If so, its like a free upgrade to a new box with more capabilities and no additional obligation to keep that box running longer than the old 240...which is zip. The 240's are great - better than the slower 540's - any reason not to give up the 240 for the DT based on UI performance? MRV/TTG should improve with built in ethernet use, right? Mega:
