RCA DRD485RG DirecTV Second-Room Receiver
Simply the BEST DirecTV receiver!
The RCA DirecTV DRD485RG receiver was purchased from Amazon as an additional DirecTV receiver and works great. It's loaded with features not found on others.<br />It's the audiophiles choice for DirecTV - six-channel surround sound Dolby Digital 5.1 with both coaxial and optical digital-audio connections (as well as two sets of standard RCA video/stereo-audio connections).  Dolby Digital broadcasts are available with the pay-per-view and premium movie channels such as HBO, Encore, or Showtime.<br />It's also the videophiles choice for DirecTV - with both component(Y, Pr, Pb) and S-Video video connections for excellent picture quality (as well as two sets of standard RCA video/stereo-audio connections).<br />The RCA DRD485RG receiver allows for telephone caller-id information to be displayed on the screen as you watch your favorite program.  And it's smart enough to disable the display when you are recording.  If you decide you don't want it, it can be disabled.<br />The free 'interactive' service of this DirecTV receiver is super! With this interactive feature, I can now get LOCAL WEATHER instantly - a cableTV service that I had missed until I purchased this RCA receiver. Additional, I can even look up STOCK QUOTES while viewing the Bloomberg Financial channel.  Many channels and specific programs are using the abilities of this 'interactive service.'<br />The receiver's self-updating feature has improved performace and reliablity. It's totally automatic.<br />It's comes with a great (and logical designed) \\"RF\\" long range remote universal control.<br />It's a great DirecTV receiver from RCA -- I recommend it.
