I have owned one and love the features the down side is heating. Placed a 5" quiet fan on top and keeps the receiver cool. It is connected to a outside antenna for OTA channels and 6 LNBF's both "C" and "KU" band. We watch a lot of FTA programming on PBS G10r ku and other satellites. It needs to be noted that a lot of services use AC3 audio now and the receiver has that. In the years I have had the receiver have got a lot of value from it. There is a power supply upgrade but have not needed it with the fan on top.
