I have two of the RCA UTV units and can't imagine watching tv without them. I upgraded one of my units (easy to do) to a 120GB hard drive. You got a good deal, as long as you don't mind the two dishes on your roof. I have on dual-lbd dish and a 2X6 multi-switch. They have come down in price, so that is something you can look at as well. I would advise you to buy a keyboard - makes searching and webtv access much easier. I bought a RCA wireless UTV keyboard off EBay for $17.
You'll love having the PVR. It makes watching tv much more enjoyable. Good luck with your install.
