    Radio Shack OTA HDTV set top box w/ HDMI Clearance B&M for $89.98

    Remote is very weak. I programed it to a learning universal remote and it works fine. I understand that you can use a universal remote (non-learning) using codes from Pioneer cable box.

    HDTV upconverter

    I've been quite happy with mine. I does allow me to send standard def to my projector in 16X9 format. It also gives you more room to play with color,contrast,briteness, etc. You can also set individual settings for each input.

    Channels in waiting

    (Speculation) I noticed several channels listed in the guide in the 800 range in Red that have not been turned on. These are duplicated top 120/160 channels. I'm just wondering if these will be activated if Viacom channels are turned off, to help soften the blow to angry customers. I...

    replenished stock of 6000s

    If Dish has the 6000 back in production, it tells us that the $500 reciever really doesn't cost Dish more than $199 to produce. Why would they offer 6000s for $199 only to LOOSE $300 on each one they sold?
