Tony, AVG will continue to offer free antivirus - their splash screens just make it sound like you have to purchase the new version. Here's a link to the upgrade: AVG 7.5 Dave

June of 2000 for me, starting with a 2-dish self install. Still have my original 4900 and 6000.

Around our house, most weekends are home-repair weekends - and I wouldn't have it any other way:) My parents raised a family of 6 on a meager single income. Everything that came into our house was used, always needed repairs, and seemed to last forever. I got a well-rounded education in all...

Works fine for me. :confused: Dave

My vote was for other - had a Bryant plus90 installed in '94, not a single problem or service call in 11+ years. Warranty similar to Carrier, local contractors were more willing to negotiate price on this brand. Also added a freon-free AC unit (seer14, though) in 2000. No problems here, but 6...

Great post, TomD - and welcome aboard! My 62 month relationship with Dish hasn't been the greatest, but it's nowhere near the worst (that honor goes to my ex-wife :D ). In the end, GaryPen put it best - it's just a utility. Ever so often, I do look around. just haven't found anything better...

Add me to the list - still using my 6000, but for OTA only. Makes for a good match to my "old" 1st gen. Mits HDTV. I too am waiting to see if it'll be worth anything when MPEG4 starts to roll out. Dave

Sonys are notorious for shipping their receivers in AVR2 command mode. In order to use a universal remote, you have to change to AVR1. See if your HTR is listed here: Link Dave

All you had to do was click on the blue box at the top of the page :) I got mine from Valueelectronics (along with a nice Satelliteguys discount - thanks, Robert). I find it to be a very good box - using it for both OTA and in-the-clear QAM from my local cable co. However, my only comparison...
