RCA DRD480RE DIRECTV PLUS Second-Room Receiver
RCA is MUCH easier to use than Hughes Receiver!!
We got the RCA receiver (for 2nd room) and I was shocked at how much easier it is to use than the Hughes one we got from Direct TV!! The on-screen menu (you have a choice of several)...is so much better and easier to read -for one thing. And while you're surfing the channels, it lets you stay on the channel you're watching...it puts up that channel in a box (like picture in picture-and it's large enough to easily see, too.)- while you're finding what you want to watch next. It also has an &quot;inter-active&quot; program you can use to shop &amp; do other things with. It is really pretty neat!! I think basically I like everything about it better than the 1st receiver we got. I was really very pleasantly surprised!! The remote is easier to use, too. Yes, it is larger than the other one, but still, MUCH easier to navigate!! You won't regret getting this!! I thought having two different style receivers might not be too good, but I was mistaken. I really am happy we got this one. I wish we had gotten this one first!!
