Which HD receiver

[TMair]

Ok, yeah it's me again.



I have a SonicView receiver, I have been thinking of getting an HD receiver, I had a Pansat SD receiver and I liked it, wish I would have replaced it with another one rather then the SonicView, the SV is a good receiver, but I miss the UHF remote

I know there are going to be a lot of opinions on this but I am interested in all of them, I have been looking at the Pansat 9200 but not sure I am ready to spend that much on a receiver, I do want to get back to the UHF remote deal, are there any other receivers that will do UHF?

Aside from the UHF remote deal what would you guys recomend for a receiver?
THanks again

Pansat is the only one with a UHF remote option but alot of folks just use those remote control extenders from Radio Shack

The Pansat UHF remote IIRC has different buttons than the "regular" remote

I like my Pansat 9200 HD. Now that they have a channel editor, I feel a little better about recommending it.

The two issues I have.

1. Audio problems with listening to "Radio stations" that require you to press mute BEFORE changing channels in order to get he sound to work.

2. The poor implementation of the PVR, there is no "publicly" accessible way to transfer recorded shows form the external hard drive to the PC.

Other then that this one has treated me very well. Its simple to use, and the remote makes logical sense.

Thanks for the reply.
Ok so not familier with the remote extenders, I will have to check into those, I could use one for other things to.

Yeah I know about the different buttons, I used one with my old Pansat SD box.

Ok so if I went with the remote extender, I don't really care about the internal hard drive, but I do want s-2 and 8psk, what other HD boxes wold be good, and have those features?

The Pansat is expensive I would not mind spending less, considering I had to replace my TV today, I loved that TV.

Thanks again
