Best $120 Receiver??
Some of you guys have experience with multiple boxes.
So if I was going to spend a maximum of $120 shipped for a cardless only STB, what would you recommend?

CW700. Though you can probably get it for cheaper. Maybe $100-110.

Re: Best $120 Receiver??
don't forget the captain 7100usb.you also have option of buying dongle latter for iks if you wanted.(they are another hundred bucks)
for that price range tho
cw 700
captain 7100
i like both.(well 600s premium is same as 700 just no usb port)
captain is much higher quality.but cw does have faster file support.

Never left my house, it arrived, plugged it in, some awesome advise from here, up and running, lickitty split, remote in one hand, glass of wine in the other.
Cheers,

Depends on where you live....I've seen a SV4000 for $120 not a clone, factory direct. I like my SV, it is easy to set up and has great support, but I heard the CW is very good too.
Good luck!

Hey Dan,
I have an nFusion., and so far loving it. I'm seriously considering getting something that doesn't need ethernet so I can put together a very portable system.

Guys, I really appreciate you-alls' input.
Please keep the suggestions flowing!!
