Starchoice receiver?
ADVERTS 1
We use to get many Canadian channels with our 4DTV's many years ago. Now most of them are gone (and it's not a good idea to point a 4DTV at Canadian satellites).
Would it make any sense to get a Starchoice receiver on EBay? What could I see with it? I just saw a HD receiver for about $130.00 US.
And, do they have the same problems when the battery goes dead?
Thanks,
Dennis

Yes my DSR-405 does fine for the freebies. Waiting for the day that Starchoice has some issues and opens up a bunch of channels for even a short time

Proud Staff Memberyeah I got the 205 for that
If the op wants the few freebies, get a previously subbed SD only box. Buying a HD box with no sub is kinda useless since none of the HD channels are FTAWinegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB....
