Toshiba DST3000 HDTV/DIRECTV Receiver
Toshiba DST3000
I have read a lot reviews, and surfed a lot of feedback about this product.  Most is negative, but how many people write about something that is good?  First you must be technicaly inclined.  Second you must understand BASIC electronics.  Nothing is as advertised!<br />I purchased the dst300 in may of 2001; just for hdtv. GREAT! (with a good antenna)  then I got greedy, and subscribed to Directv. (Just for hdtvnet. [cable [stunk] anyway]) Great also!  I've had no major problems with this unit whatsoever.  Maybe it has something to do with your particular set.  I have a Pioneer hdtv set, but this unit may work perfect with a Toshiba; being a Toshiba.  Yes, it has it's ups and downs, but as stated earlier who writes when it's good?  I'm sure they've sold tens of thousands of these units, but only thousands of negative reviews!  4 stars instead of five, because of only 1080i hd reception (which is AWESOME!!!) but ABC and FOX broadcasts in different formats (grow up).  CBS, NBC, PBS, HBO, SHOWTIME, HDNET, and sometimes wgn broad cast in 1080i which is the best format so far.
