I notice a number of clear HD channels available FTA on the Lyngsat lists. Are there any receivers that can receive these signals? If so, I don't see them at the SatGuys advertisers websites.

Holy jumpin catfish! That's insane. Is that really the only one out there? I wouldn't really need OTA or 1080p.
If your interested in HD signals I suggest you buy a cheap twinhan card and use that in your PC. Why? Because it's cheap. It would very unwise to spend alot of money on an HD reciever based on what's listed on lyngsat or anywhere else for that matter. Why? because alot of those signals may be dissappearing or going encrypted and it may happen sooner than you expect. Many of the network are either in the process of or are planning on going to 8psk and no this is not the kind of 8psk the little dish network tuner module you may have heard about will tune. It's the kind of 8psk that will require a $4000 commerical reciever and a 15ft dish. On top of this many of them are also planing to implement encryption. So, investing any substantial amount of money wouldn't be wise. On the other hand a twinhan card is pretty cheap. So, if you go that route, if worse come to worse, you won't have lost very much.

Somebody buy one and let us know how it goes. Personally, I'm sticking with the PCI setup.
I looked at one and saw all the cons about the receiver and it just scared to me even think about buying one. I can't see paying more than $350 for a4:2:2 HD receiver.
