Ok, maybe when it comes to JUST OTA. But in general, there are many differences in features and performance.
Correct but you can say the same thing for both of the receivers. They both have different features that make them better than the other. It all comes down to what features you want. As for performance that is very subjective as I have had very little performance issues with my systems. The only major performance issue is with channel surfing which I don't do. I use the guide to see what is on instead of just changing channels.
