I don't have the SD I have the HD but I am told they both have the upgraded tuner. As well the SD is supposed to have a faster processor and more memory. I would pay the extra money for the tuner alone. The HD has zero problems running on DP or DP PLUS LNBs. There have been many problems posted concerning the weak tuner in the Nova and the Solaris would inherit these problems. I have heard the SD also has a better picture. Not sure about that one but I can tell you that the SD picture on the HD unit is superior to the one on the Nova.
If it were my money I would go with the SD. Why they did not include USB PVR on this box I am still trying to figure out.
