reading is the best way to learn, use the search option to find posts related to your specific problem. if you still need help post a question in the proper forum.
helpful hints:
* read and understand the site rules to guide you through our many forums.

* before you unplug your receiver, or disconnect any connection including the switch or lnb ALWAYS REMEMBER to turn the receiver off using the switch on back of the receiver. you could burn up your switch or mess up your settings if you dont.

Hello and welcome to ABA!! First of all, I would suggest that you read the "receiver review" section, I think it will give you a better idea of what might suit you the best. We all have our favorites for one reason or another....so depending on if you want ease of set up, best support, price, it's all a matter of preference. I have the same as you and then upgraded and love what I have. Read as much as you can and after you purchase your new toy, read everything there is to read about it while you are waiting to receive it.
Good luck to you.
