Mucka · July 2nd, 2008

i'm somewhat new to this. I believe we test two dishes on bev and dn. the current box is a coolsat 4000. here are my questions/concerns about a box recommendation.

will my existing dishes/set up work with whatever hd box i plan on using?

what is the cheapest/most reliable hd box? I don't really need a dvr. i'm more concerned with it being hd and somewhat on the cheap side. a box that has good support and doesn't go down a lot is a huge plus. i'm looking to spend $150 for a receiver. hopefully closer to $100.

do i need a certain box to get both bev and dish?

basically, what i want is the same thing i have now, only with some hd capabilities. if i can get these questions/conerns answered and get things set up i'll end up buying a membership to this site.
