Very cheap item that does not work well. My TV never had any reception problems on digital. No blocking, no glitches in service. I am in an excellent reception part of the UK. You hook this thing up and your recorded programmes are full of glitches,...

I bought this Directv Satellite Receiver instead of "leasing" one from Directv. I was not charged any extra fees by Directv, as I have been a good customer for 15 years, nor did I have to extend my contract w/Directv. It was not difficult to change...
