Hello,
I was looking to get one of the above receivers and wanted to know what additional features/benefits the hd300 has over the hd200 other than rf remote capabilities?
Thanks,
T

Seawaves ... what are the differences between the HD-200 & HD-300? I would just like to know, just channel scanning and changing? Is the interface different, more advanced menus? Just curious.Seawaves said:
Oh, and for the record, while I currently own all Hughes receivers
, it is not because I do not like Sony. most of the examples on this site where I said do not buy Sony were between the HD-200 and HTL-HD ... that is only trying to save folks a C Note since there the only difference between these two boxes is the plastic bezel on the front. I hate to see folk pay more for a name.Now on the truthful side, unless you are talking TV's, camcorders or digital cameras ... no I do not like Sony's other products. I just saved my friend from buying one of their home theatre receivers about a 2 weeks ago. He bought a Yamaha instead and loves it and was nicely surprised by the added value that only cost him $60 more! On that note, if you are looking for a good entry level Home Theatre receiver I would recommend a Yamaha or Onkyo to anyone, they are in the top echelon of entry level HT receivers.

Hey, whoa..I didn't mean to get you all worked up, Slacker! I came to you to ask about boxes before. I did forget to add that the 300 makes zero noise when off and th e200 has fans that always run (unless you unplug that sucker) so in a beeroom the 300 is better.
I did mention the DVI problems the 200 gave me. I don't see a huge dif.f in the menus but I don't have a 200 here to compare.
All that said- some other Sony products I have mixed results with. I do have the top of the line Sony ES Receiver and it is excellent. As well as a digital camera and a camcorder. It seems Sonys top of the line stuff is good but down the line not so good. I had a SAT-T60 Tivo that died twice.
So I mentioned in my post that you are Hughes STB guy- so i was right?

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.
