I've been very satisfied with my Pioneer but now have shifted to DirecTV satellite from a cable system.
The DirecTV signal is much clearer than we are used to even though not the HD version.
The Pioneer managed the MCHSI CableBox via the IR option. It also has a serial hook up for other systems not having IR.
Evidently DirecTV used to have the rj-11 mini connector for channel switching from the Pioneer. The new one installed for us yesterday has a USB plug but no other serial options.
What to do? I'd rather upgrade the Pioneer than go with a brand change. DirecTV has their own DVR but haven't heard/read rave reviews yet. Have seen otherwise.
Options at WeaKnees?
