My situation: DirecTV subscriber, so I don't really "need" a box, but
since I have two old analog-only sets, I've decided to get one box to
have just in case I decide to sell or give away one of those old sets.
I've requested one coupon, so when it comes, I'll have a couple of
months to decide which box to get. So... opinions are requested. Which
box to get? I'll likely go with one that's available nearby (Radio Shack
or Wal-mart), and in the absence of any intelligent data, whould
probably go with the cheapest.... but if any particular ones are really
lame, I'd certainly be willing to add a bit to the price to get a
preferred one....

TIA...

I'd wait for the Echostar TR-40. It has advanced features like a 7 day
programmable guide, analog passthru, and an MSRP of $39.95. Due out in
June.
