should i wait to buy a sv8000

[netster]

i want to watch dish hd channels on my new 52" lcd sooo bad, but should i wait until they open N3 just to be sure? or do i have confidence that this will happen, and get a sv1000 with 8psk. thanks for any opinions here.

I would buy one now why wait, you can be watching HD know.

You would be very happy with DN echo5 (129) most are broadcast @ 1080, and as I told a friend the sooner you get on the wagon the longer the ride. But it is up to you

don't forget your 8psk module.
N3 has nothing to do with HD. refer to this thread

The SV8000 is a nice unit (some say it offers the best HD pic) however, given the current state of things with respect to N3, perhaps you might consider the nFusion HD.

Something to think about.

Don't want to High jack here,,But your saying once N3 hits and when it hits..
if you got the sw8000 or whatever HD stb you will still be watching all the HD channels................

No when N3 come all channels will start dropping just like B3V.

When the end of N2 arrives, it is expected that few units will have channels right out of the gate. There will likely be a period of darkness. For how long? Well, that is the million dollar question.

As of this post, the nFusion units, are the only units that I am personally aware of that has had some success with the work-around they have utilized - allowing them to offer a wide range of entertainment options from the 91 and 82 airspace.

So, if you are in the market for a new unit now, that's a brand you'll want to consider.

lol..............ok

this question is commonly asked.

my response:
NEVER buy an fta receiver for hacked tv.
always buy it for true fta.
hang a dish with motor and it should be worth it.
hang a C band bud with any HD unit and its for sure worth it.

find any other use to go along with that is gravy.

so i say of course get one.the sv 8k is also a multimedia player.-always tv. with of course your owned "dvd backups" only.

with a motorized dish and a single lnb, you can hit anything in the sky.

C band HD makes DN HD look silly.
