RCA DS2122RD DIRECTV System
Not bad but could be alot better
This is a great satellite system if you don't ever have to replace the receiver and don't need questions answered.  You can not buy JUST the receiver you must also purchase the dish again and of course pay full  price.  Also we've had a heck of a time getting through to anyone at  DirectTV about billing questions, options, problems... and for this you  will pay a premium price.  If you're way up north where we are you also run  into not getting optimum reception since the &quot;bird&quot; is down over  Texas.  There are other companies who have a bird over Canada which is a  clearer shot for us way up here.  If DirectTV fixes these problems and  prices itself more competively they'd be a better deal.  Don't just buy a  satellite and take the salesperson's word for it... ask your neighbors who  have satellite first and do a bit of research as to how easy it would be to  replace just the receiver or just the dish.... compare prices and find out  where the satellite bird is in relation to where you are.  Also no matter  what system you go with but especially the RCA one GET A SURGE PROTECTOR  for the receiver:-)
