    Disappointed with the receiver I got on the install.

    There is too much TV to choose from nowadays. I can stream on Netflix, rent 1080p's on Vudo and timeshift off air channels on my HTPC and watch satellite. I thought I would cut down some of my choices by skipping the DVR.

    Disappointed with the receiver I got on the install.

    I'm disappointed it's not the lastest and sleekest and I'm starting a two year lease on a 2007 receiver. Doesn't look good next to my 3D TV and Harmon/Kardon receiver. What is SWM? Can I just buy the newer receiver and give D back this one. I know it's still a lease. I only have one TV hooked up.

    Disappointed with the receiver I got on the install.

    Just switched to Direct TV from Dish. I wanted to save some money so I skipped the HD DVR. I got a old used H21-200 receiver on the install. Can I get get them to give me a newer receiver? Is the one I got as good as the newer HD receivers. I just like newer stuff.

    Good selling price for Zenith HD-SAT520?

    I love that receiver too, but I switched to Dish for more HD and the mpeg 4 DVR. Let me tell you the grass is not all greener on the other side. SD channels on the Zenith 520 look much better than Dish. The Zenith had better aspect modes. I think the off air HD tuner might be better with the...

    What the heck up with D* vs Dish re: HD

    How long ago was it? Direct TV was saying it was going to be the HD leader with something like 1000 HD channels on TV commercials.I see they stopped running that ad campaign.

    What the heck up with D* vs Dish re: HD

    I'm leaving. I'm tired of waiting for more HD while Dish has more and a MPEG 4 DVR. If I knew it was coming real soon and not HD lite I would stay. But I hear nothing.

    Question about HR10-250

    If you could run the wire down down to the basement on a inside wall with no fire break and up from there might work.

    Question about HR10-250

    If it is a inside wall, they are easier to fish because no fiberglass in the wall. It can be done. I would drop string into the wall and catch it with a hook at the other end.

    New remote for HD-SAT520

    I just purchased a new zenith remote from www.newremotecontrol.com for $44.95 including shipping. I would highly recommend them for anyone who wants an original remote for their refurbished receiver, that didn't get one. I got it in less than a week.

    Who has the better SD PQ? Dish or Directv?

    I just got Direct, I thought Voom's SD picture was better than Dish when I switched to Voom, but SD on my new Zenith HD-SAT520 receiver is better than Voom. I'm happy with the SD and I have less over scan too. The Zenith receiver automatically switches display output to the TV. 480p or 1080i...
