Hey Everyone,

I want to ask you guys as I'm really stuck and confused about what to do??? I'm in a market to buy a new receiver and I have narrowed it down to 2 choices: to go either with CNX MINI or CW-800.....

My problem is this I have a HD 50" Samsung Plasma TV and want to buy a receiver that provides a good SD signal with a composite cable. I know people say CNX MINI has the better picture hands down??? But is it that much better than CW800??? I know plasma can certainly differentiate and magnify flaws in picture quality...

Second is that I know CW800 is going to add the IKS support by end of JUNE...that would mean better uptime for the satellite signal. My wife would appreciate less hassle having to deal with ECM every week?????

Having said that Please help me make a better choice to either go with better picture quality or more uptime???? If I go with CW800 am I going to lose significant picture quality enjoyment with my HD tv????
