Ready to pull triiger advice needed

[Expat]

Good Morning people,

I am living and working in Mexico, and am just about to pull the trigger on a CW800s, it will be set-up in my home theater and I would like to know if there is anything i should be aware of (potential problems) before i go ahead and make the spend.

Also can you great people let me know how is the audio quality on the unit?
For example, the dolby digital, is it on par with DVD quality?
Bass extention etc..?? and how many of the D* movies are broadcast in DD format? Any available in DTS format?

Sorry for the NooB questions!
regards
Expat

welcome and yes many own and love that receiver.
it is important to know that both providers are in the process of a card swap to change to nag-3 and this may produce anything from interuptions to loss of service.
not trying to rain on the parade, just an fyi.

Hi All,

thanks for the warm welcomes and such.

I have been reading for a while about the new nagra-3 flavour, wondering about that myself. I have also heard some rumours that it has been or is being looked at very carefully in europe, any ideas on this??

regards

[hazwis]

in short, i think everyone will know after it happens. i think it must be hard to predict the un-predictable. the providers made changes and spent money, im sure they expect some result. on the other fence, likely its all in the math......
