Since we're on the subject of DireTV receivers...I've been clinging to a 5+ year old Sony unit because it has a 'Favorites' menu. Basically it's 5 screens of 7 channels that you can shortcut to. The Hughes, RCA, and Uniden models that I've had experience with haven't had this type of feature, what about others?
I wonder if the Hot Network is going to be one of the new HD channels DTV is rolling out...
