Best Hd Reciever?

[bloop]

a friend of mine wanrs to get an hd receiver and i'm don't not much about fta recievers so i was wondering what's the best.Things he would want would be something where bin files are released in decent time and not last,pvr,a good guide (i know somebody who has a reciever and the guide always goes out and it's pretty pointless to have all those channels and not know what's on),something with usb port for uploading the bin and any bells and whistles i don't know about

just looking for the best but i don't want him to get something where the guide is always out or he's last in line for bin files

Sonicview 8000 is the top of my voting, Great Picture, great Menu and Great Support, but with n3 looming an nfusion hd is also a good choice. we have a receiver review section, check it out, and see what you think. Good Luck. Also Welcome To Aba!

thanks for the reply and sorry to sound like a noob 9which i am lol) but why would nfusion be a better chocie once the swith over to niagra 3?Is there something the sonic 8000 doesn't support or will lack once the switch over happens?

Right now nfusion is the only one with n3 working somewhat. SV might have something in the future but then again they may not.

**** that sucks.Is there any estimate when the niagra 3 switch will happen so i can get a guess on how long to tell him to probably wait

No one knows my friend ,lots of channels are already dark and more to come soon.

best over all in my opinion is the sv8000(do have this one though)
