RCA DRD430RG DirecTV Receiver(see Terms and Conditions)
I'm not really sure why everyone is complaining
Sometimes people can be dumb.I think all of the people who reviewed this so far should have their haeds examined because this is a damn fine product.  I am following up an earlier review I had done. I've owned two of these receivers for about a year now, and I am impressed. For some reason, people think that the receiver is the reason why the box doesn't work. Nothing could be further from the truth. It all has to do with the satellite position outside. The reason they lose reception is because of something temporarily blocking the satellite feed outside, not the receiver. Take for example, my situation. When we first got directv, our satellite was on the roof and yes, the recievers did go out, but it was mainly 2-3 times a week. Then, we had a new roof put on, and we decided to put the dish on the side of our house instead of the roof. The reception has been much better,and it hardly ever goes out anymore. Also, the cable wire going from the dish to the antenna is about 100 feet shorter, causing less signal to be lost. All in all, the receiver can pause on a channel if you are trying to change it, but that is minimal. For $... you can't do any better. All of the other receivers are for those who want tivo, or other component in ,  s video , and other high tech properties with their tv. I'm just interested in watching tv,and I have  no s video, component, composite video or 86 speaker hookups.  Directv is a godsend and much better picture and sound with any ordinary tv when compared to cable. And yes you can tape on all the channels , not just 3. This receiver is not a rocket launcher like some people want it to be. Yes, it is listed as an entry level, but I think it's too fancy to be called entry level.
