I dont't think very many people are willing to pay $550 for a receiver. For example, I am waiting for the next couple of months, when, my cable subscriber will be offering their HD DVR receiver WITH HD LOCALS included on a lease basis, which is FREE installation and only about $10 a month..AND if it breaks, I don't own it...Bye bye Dish, VOOM, and/or DirecTV....unless a better offer comes along..I'm so wishy washy
