Well, the folks at DirecTV were very cool. Here's what I ended up with:

*New receiver, at no cost to me
*Free upgrade to the H20 and 5 LNB dish when I make the move to HDTV
*$10 off per month on my bill for the next 12 months
*HBO for $2 per month for the next 6 months

My wife had called Dish to see what they had to offer; when I told the people at DTV what Dish had said, the above is what they offered us. I wasn't interested in doing a TON of haggling, just getting something decent in return for staying with DirecTV; I got that, so I'm happy.

Thanks to all of you for your advice.
