DISH Network ViP 612

$268.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
I can't really rate this receiver fairly because I only have the standard definition dish, and this receiver can't be activated without adding another dish to my roof.
from www.amazon.com
I measured it with my Kill-A-Watt meter and this satellite box uses 40 watts minimum whether it's on or off.
from www.amazon.com
It was cheaper to go to the Dish network, oops!
from www.amazon.com
My only compliant may be more with the Dish Network, in that we were getting a lot of digital breakups and artifacts in the HD programming.
from www.amazon.com
Anyway, we have the DISH Total HD package; nothing but HD bliss.

Directv HR23

$171.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Only downside is HR23 has no coaxial line out to feed an extra TV from the receiver.
from www.amazon.com
I found out during the process that there is now a software update for the old non-HD DVR that allows them to receive HD signals and that there is no other difference between them except for the extra $100 DirecTV wants you to pay for the HD box!
from www.amazon.com
The delivery was very fast and setup with Directv was effortless.
from www.amazon.com
The front panel lights seem to be not as bright as the previous HR2x's from DirecTV.
from www.amazon.com
Had an issue with DirecTV so I sent it back and canceled thier service.
