I'm leaning towards the SV4000 right now because supposedly the picture is better and it has the a 7 day epg. How long is the VS Ultra epg? I'll be hooking it up to a home made PVR in the near future if that makes a difference. Which one is more user friendly. I really liked how easy the CS5K was to set up and would love that in my next receiver.
If there's another receiver I should consider let me know
