:) Ths Sonicview 4000 is very good receiver I am sure you will be very happy with that receiver. The sonicview 4000 is going head to head with viewsat ultra, and the support for it is just wonderful. Can't go wrong with Sonicview 4000 what so ever. I am testing acctually the SV HD 8000 with full PVR Mpeg2 & Mpeg4 and trust me the best receiver I ever had. I won't look at anything else. Cheers
