Ordered my 3 free-for-now DTA's online, and they came quickly. Looked in the cardboard box, and noticed that the DTA was about the size I expected. It had a power supply and a coiled coax, but no remote extender. As I was watching one of them go thru its initialization (after being quickly authenticated thanks to MediacomChad!) I noticed the instructions saying if you plugged the power supply into the remote slot, it wouldn't work. I again wondered about the lack of a remote extender. Visited a neighbor who had just had his installed by Mediacom, and noticed his cardboard box was bigger, and it had a remote extender left behind. So, writing as someone who did the upgrade via the least possible footprint on the Mediacom system, I really think I should get 3 freaking remote extenders! Pleased to now get WRDE99 on the "basic" system, and looking forward to more HD's in late April.
