ReplayTV RTV5040 40-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Extremly disappointing/ Useless
Just bought this RTV 5040 and tried to set it up with my new dish as a first time user.<BR>Well it doesn't work, unless you have another SAT receiver that will show you signal strength so to be able to point the Dish in the right direction this unit is useless.  Tech Support was less than helpful, but finally admitted that the unit is not capable of lining up a dish.<BR>Also the constant and I mean constant even in stand by mode, running cooling fan becomes a loud speaker when placed in a TV cabinet, be wear!! You will not sleep if it is in a bedroom.<BR>It would be nice if Sonicblue would advertise these special features, so you won't have to go through the hassle of returning it and spend money for nothing.<BR>TIVO here I come...
