RCA DRD430RG DirecTV Receiver(see Terms and Conditions)
DO NOT BUY THIS - RCA should be ashamed
We bought this reciever as part of a package and encountered many of the problems described here. DO NOT BUY IT, AND DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO FOLKS WHO HAVE RATED IT HIGHLY. The folks who have rated this highly act as if the rest of us are ignorant of how satellite systems work. I actually worked on a satellite program as an engineer, so I know what's going on.<br />Even with an extremely high signal strength (92 or better) and top notch audio visual equipment, we lost sound frequently, were unable to receive local channels, experienced picture pixellation, and loud audio pops. We replaced the reciever with a new identical system, and quickly experienced the same problems.<br />DirecTV customer service was wonderful, and if I were them I would sue RCA for all the time and money they spent helping me trouble shoot the problem.
