First word of caution: Verify Receiver ID number (RID) of anything you buy on any auction site with DirecTV before buying. Almost all DirecTV equipment is now leased, and if you buy a leased unit (other than from a valid dealer) you will not be able to activate it. If you are able to find legitimate used owned equipment, great - but make sure you confirm that (by RID) before buying. You should also check the buy/sell forum of this web site.
If you want MRV (whole-home), then doing that via coax and DECA is by far the preferred method. That normally requires an installer and some equipment, but it can also be done via do-it-yourself. Either way, there is a monthly recurring charge for the service ($3 I think).
