I love my system I should of got it when directv went down. (That was a sad day) By the way Jeff yes its the same thing since I have two dishes that feeds me all of dishnet's programming. For the price I would recommand the system I mean come on at around 400 cdn installed you get all the ppv's hbo's, ESPN's basically everything aside from NBA league pass but like i said i could get most of the games on the fox sports local package. It doesn't have the MLB/NHL package (but it does have NCAA full court) however that isn't a big deal since I get those thru Roger's anyway.
As for it being stable for awhile its kinda like recommanding a sportsbook you can be 99% sure but you never really know. However when it does go down it's easy getting it back up. Most boxes have the next key already set in place (key is like the line of code that the box uses to show a picture) if you need to do it manually you just go to site like
www.hashhu.com and its right there.
