Best HDTV receiver that would take CW?.. - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi, I am pretty new to this world of sat and I don't intend to use 'emu's or hacks...
I just want to get a good HD receiver that would accept Cryptoworks card, will upscale normal channels (to 1080i) and have SATA compatability (hard-drive).

What's the best HD receiver out there today in your opinion?

I passed by one sat shop in the area and they suggested Eycos as it is compatible with CW and also has a brand new HDTV receiver (S 80.12) - but I see no posts re this brand - anybody knows its cons and pros? How sensible its tuner is (I really like Dream's tuner sensitivity)?

Many thanks in advance!

The only one I can think of is the Vantage 7100S as you can connect a Sata HD and once patched can read a CW card.

"and once patched"...

what does this mean? Is it easy to do?

thanks!

Patching refers to replacing the original firmware on the box with modified software

thanks, Analoguesat. I also found out that once I do patching, the guarantee is void on the machine.

is it a CW card that is so special or there ain't consumer-friendly receivers out there?..
