What to purchase with Nfusion HD
Hey everyone!
I am getting ready to purchase the Nfusion HD. I want to make sure I buy everything I need to go with it.
Do I need some sort of card-approximately $100?
Do I need any additional cables that don't come with the receiver?
Thanks!

Yes, you'll want to get the 8psk card for that unit, typically in the $100.00 range (its not part of the base offering)
As for decent HD cables, that depends on your $$$ tollerance

Re: What to purchase with Nfusion HD
It depends on what satellites you're planning to get of course.
For BEV (yes, NFusion HD works with BEV  ), you don't need to buy anything else (assuming you already have a dish pointing to 82/91).
For DN, you will need an 8psk add-on like CG said.
As for HD cable, you will need an HDMI cable to get the best audio/video quality. If your TV doesn't have HDMI (or DVI, which is hdmi without audio), then the next best thing is component cable (Red/Green/Blue + L/R Audio). Monoprice has very cheap HDMI cables, or ebay.

Re: What to purchase with Nfusion HD
You might want to get a set of powerline adapters, easy way to get internet to your receiver.
