Need to upgrade my fta receiver

[Accessdenied]

What brands are reliable? Supports the most channels, I would like something that had HD, PVR, Divix, wifi for Netflix & YouTube.

Talk to satellite AV that micro HD is pretty nice receiver talk to them.

The microHD has no networking (wired or wireless), but is an excellent receiver.

As for Netflix, there are so many other devices that will do online streaming, I'd rather have the better receiver.

...I would like something that had HD, PVR, Divix, wifi for Netflix & YouTube.

For several years now, I've run a Western Digital media player.
It does DivX (now obsolete), MP4, MKV, Netflix, YouTube, and numerous other formats.
It even plays 720 & 1080 recorded by my Vista Media Center (80+ OTA channels) .
The little box was around $70(?) and has been very satisfactory, allowing me complete freedom with my receiver choice.
As for wifi, it has too many other uses to squander it on video in my house; I run a CAT5.

Today, the receiver of choice seems to be the inexpensive microHD from SatelliteAV.


I think the only all-in-one choice would be from the AZbox family.
We have a forum department devoted to 'em, so you can take a look.

I don't know of any FTA box that caan do Hulu or Netflix.

I think the best looking box with networking bells and whistles was something called the Anacondia.
