    Want a new HR54

    The only way to guarantee you'll one is to do a 4k upgrade or buy one from solid signal. Sent from my PH-1 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Getting DTV, who-what-why-old timer needs advice.

    No comparison to me on my 65" Sony. D* is much better. Much sharper and clearer. The compression artifacts on E*s picture are atrocious.

    New Guide UI now rolling out (plus HDR support!)

    Sony XBR850C
