I go with the Visionsat IV-200 satellite receiver simply because of the DVR feature. In the early days (1983-4) when it was illegial to have a dish we went ahead and created one and used an old Alliance Tena-Rotor to change polarity. Not since that time have I been able to experience the simple fun and delight that was created just by finding a new "feed."
Although the implementation of the "brainless" hook-up for the Echostar and Dish services gives unparalled HD, as well as a world-class SD, I really long for the excitement of finding one more "Satellite City", "Dr. Gene" or other experimental broadcast.
Oh, and the Visionsat IV-200 satellite receiver? Well, at my advanced age it's nice to go to bed at 9 PM and still see the broadcasts that you young folk don't yawn your way through.
