very good receiver and has great support
you will be happy with it

Spend a few extra $$$ and get the CW800 unit, it has USB file loading, much easier.

The 700 has a usb port on the front for file loading

the 700 is a nice receiver and it has usb loading also

Sorry was thinking of the older CW600 unit, my bad ... just wanted it to be easy for his daughter to manage

File support on the CW units is solid.

I have an old vs plat,and I've never had a prolem with it but I think it will be the cw 700 or 800.

kozu · December 27th, 2008

Thanks for the info and have a good one!

creativegenius · December 27th, 2008

Either of those would be great.

Price difference between CW700 and CW800 is $20-30. So, if you don't need the clunky PVR, I recommend getting the 700 and save your money

It's the same receiver sans PVR. It has front USB port as opposed to CW800's back USB port. This makes it easier to upgrade firmware.

i have cw800 and cw700. same box but the 800 can record to your usb stick. and it loads in the rear. i prefer the 700. it loads in the front. much easier.

I've a 700 since March and wouldn't trade for anything else. She'll like it.

Itaintrite · December 28th, 2008

You might like to look at a couple of other receivers too. CNX Nano is the same price with AWESOME support (top cardless support). SV360 Premier is also cheap and nice. I would go for a CNX Nano. I've never tried CW700 but the CW800 was a bit laggy in the menus.
