Title: DirecTV is the holy grail but better receivers exist
Product review: DirecTV is indeed fantastic. We have had cable with an old 19" TV for 10+ years. We finally upgraded to a 36" television and decided to try DirecTV with it. We were not disappointed!DirecTV is friendly, razor sharp for most channels/shows (although sharpness is variable at times) with a generous, logical pricing scheme and tons of great content.We started with the RCA system but soon discovered that the superior solution is the DirecTV + TiVo combined units which are priced similarly. Amazon carries one by Philips.The DirecTV + TiVo combo is unbeatable in terms of convenience, content management, personalization, etc. Check it out.One minor negative note re: the RCA system... One side of the dual LNB "died" during a mild storm. It was a hassle to get a free replacement - I ended up having to buy a replacement from an electronics store for more than I paid for the entire system including installation.
