HD Receiver

[beatboy77]

I would like to buy an inexpensive HD DirecTV Receiver with HDMI for our camper. What would everyone Recommend?

If buying new there is only one option, the H20.

If your switching to DISH Notwerk 622s why aren't you looking for a DISH receiver?

I am keeping D* as well.

Do you need a unit with HD LIL? Then you must get an DirecTV H20 right now.

Is HDMI a "must have option"? Why?

If not, I would go with better, older units such as LG LSS-3200a, Hughes HTL-HD, Sony SAT-HD300, Zenith HD-SAT520, RCA DTC-210; most of these, if not all, have DVI.

He has posted in other threads that his 3 home theater systems are only set up for HDMI so a DVI to HDMI adapter would leave him without audio.

Yeah, HDMI is the only option. I will probably just run over to Best Buy and get an H20.

Ahh so a HT that has no pre-amp or AIW receiver.

commitment?

If I buy a new or used older D* box, when I go to activate are they going to try to get a 2 year commitment? I have already completed a 1 year deal.

You will have to ask a D* CSR that question and then ask it several more times. The answer just keeps changing.

I would also recommend going above a typical CSR.
