at only-or i guess i should say,even "under" 200$ now,you really can't knock that for an mpeg2 only hd unit.
its not pvr though,i suppose the others cost more due to pvr,and captain's are known for being low cost anyway(still very high quality Korean made tho-unlike some other low cost stbs.that's why i really like the captains too).
whoops, i just got confused!
Referring to lyngsat, I was under the impression all HD signals are MPEG4 format. How does an MPEG2 receiver handle HD?
(Lyngsat lists them as MPEG4/HD)

***think i just answered my own question...
channels such as TNT HD and ESPN2 HD(Echo 10) are listed as HD only, not MPEG4/HD. So, there's a difference between MPEG4 and HD formats.***
