I recently bought the Sony 34XBR800 and I must say I am very pleased so far. However, I have not yet had the chance to experience HDTV, as I have not yet bought the STB. I will be using the STB for DirecTV and OTA. My three options are:
Hughes HIRD-E86 ($499 - BestBuy)
Samsung SIR-TS160 ($599 - BestBuy)
Sony HD-200 ($799 - Tweeter)
I say these are the three options because these are the three can I know I can buy. I put a deposit on a Sony HD-200 at Tweeter that should be in the store on Dec. 6. However, I have no idea which of the three models is the best? or would all three work the same? is the Sony worth paying more for? etc.
I used this site for months before settling on the 34XBR800. However, I have not been able to locate the holy grail post(s) on this topic. But maybe I was not searching properly and a thread already exists that I can be pointed to. Bottom line is that I have not a clue about any of the three STBs listed above and would really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
