What about it guys? Any locals on here?

Thanks tdti1, I am going to go with a 36 incher initally with a motor and a cheap reciever at first. I will then be going after a BUD soon thereafter. Does anyone know if you need to specifically get an HD-FTA reciever like you would for a dish network or Direct tv type deal? If so...
