What is Best HDTV/DirecTV STB???

[Ravens_Fan]

I am in the market to replace my Sony SAT-HD100 receiver. I have 1 problem with this receiver that Sony cannot figure out. They have offered to buy back my receiver and I can get a new one.

1) What is the best receiver out now for HDTV & DirecTV?

2) Or should I wait for the next generation products?

I have a Mitsubshi 65" set, Bose surround sound, Terk antenna and 3 LNB Oval Dish.

Thanks,

Bought a Hughes Platinum HD- E-86 and im verry pleased with the unit. They even threw in a standard reciever in the deal as well. Very convient to have to record shows becouse when the E-86 in in 1080 i HD there is no output on the S-vhs or composite video outs. Changing between local terristal HDTV and sat feeds is seemless. All functions are very fast. The Terristral local tuner is verry good. Unit needs ventalation.

Sorry about the TERK. Another option is the new Samsung sir165?
