this item was not represented properly in the description and not operable with my DirectTV system. Equipment was antiquated.

This item alone is already an excellent buy regardless... At the Overstock's price, it's the best purchase I've made this year (or even in years!)

I bought this unit to replace my older Hughes receiver. Called DirectTV to obtain a program card and everything works fine.

The unit was a good buy EXCEPT for one major thing and that was - the access card was missing , I had to purchase one from Directv at a cost of $20.00. That was almst the cost of the receiver. Outside of that the unit is a good unit
