Receivers

[givemetoro]

I had a few questions about receivers...

The lady is tired of having to share the TV in the living room (and I am as well) I was looking on eBay at some receivers but had a few questions...

The first being if we just went with a standard HD Receiver, without DVR what is the current model that is being used?

Secondly, my 1080p TV doesn't support 1080/24 apparently. I heard that they're going to have to release newer receivers for support as it was a hardware issue and wasn't software based... so any word on new receivers in the works?

I only ask that because it might be work my time to wait, get a new receiver that supports 1080 on my television and then take my old HR22 and move it to the bedroom.

Thank you kindly.

Sorry but I haven't seen/heard anything about a new receiver that will do 1080p/60, where did you hear that from?

I hadn't heard that it was actually "in the works" just that it would have to a newly released receiver beings it was a hardware based issue.

I hadn't heard that it was definatley a hardware issue either.

Who did you hear that from ?

The only reason to remotely worry about 1080P is for VOD access because broadcast 1080P is many lunar cycles away. The fact that DTV enabled any variant of 1080P via a software update leads me to believe they can make major changes to our boxes.
