I found it for sale on ebay and it sounded reasonable. What about the Samsung 360? Looking for an inexpensive HD receiver with good performance.
Thanks,

AFAIK, the H10 is D*'s first branded (OEM'd from Samsung, RCA, and Philips) HD receiver. It's so new that I've yet to read any reports on issues, etc. I do like that it has HDMI. I believe that might be the first D* receiver unit with HDMI.
I have the Samsung TS360. It is fairly decent, with one glaring defect that may or may not be limited to the 360 alone. The defect is jittery video and out of sync audio when watching certain 720p content at 24/30fps, such as ESPNHD's "3" and "The Hustle" as well as some shows on FOX-HD and ABC-HD. The defect is so severe that these select shows become essentially unwatchable.
There is a lengthy thread on this topic at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=485536&perpage=20&pagenumber=1 as well as an online petition to Samsung and D* to get it fixed @ http://www.petitiononline.com/ts360/petition.html that as of today, has 163 signatures.

I have Samsung 360. I have no complaints with it. The only thing I would like would be a direct entry of stations. Unless the station is in your guide, the unit will not allow access to it via direct entry. That really isn't much of a problem as all local areas from antenna source are put in by zip code. I just like to see what stations may be coming in on a particular good receiving night. Still a very good receiver.
