Monterrey, Chapparal, G.I. analog C/Ku receivers seem to to have good longevity. Echostar products (HTS, Houston Tracker) have power supply problems as they age. Drake are good quality. Some people hate Uniden; others love them
Add the Motorola 905 digital sidecar to these analog receivers to get 4DTV. You will more choice on premium movie services, better PQ and lower subscription cost than pizza dishes.
HD can be added with the Motorola HDD200 HD decoder. You will the Canadian model HDD201 is cheaper because Star Choice subsidizes the cost.
If the BUD is of some age, you may find that you will need to upgrade the C or Ku LNB to a newer low noise units to get digitals correctly
