RCA DS4220RE Dual-LNB DIRECTV System with Free Pro-Installation
DirecTV is the holy grail but better receivers exist
DirecTV is indeed fantastic.  We have had cable with an old 19\\" TV for 10+ years.  We finally upgraded to a 36\\" television and decided to try DirecTV with it.  We were not disappointed!<br />DirecTV is friendly, razor sharp for most channels/shows (although sharpness is variable at times) with a generous, logical pricing scheme and tons of great content.<br />We started with the RCA system but soon discovered that the superior solution is the DirecTV + TiVo combined units which are priced similarly.  Amazon carries one by Philips.<br />The DirecTV + TiVo combo is unbeatable in terms of convenience, content management, personalization, etc.  Check it out.<br />One minor negative note re: the RCA system...  One side of the dual LNB \\"died\\" during a mild storm.  It was a hassle to get a free replacement - I ended up having to buy a replacement from an electronics store for more than I paid for the entire system including installation.
