Pros: HDTV over-the-air plus DirecTV, looks nice with a WEGA TV
Cons: HDTV picture is smaller than screen size by a lot. Discontinued because of quality problems?
Summary: I have had my SAT-HD100 for over a year without any problems. On many of the AV boards, there have been discussions about quality problems that probably foreshadowed the products discontinuing. Apparently, some of the problems are so bad that Sony is...

Pros: None
Cons: Substandard picture / Hot-running with noisy fan / Slow grid and channel changing
Summary: This reviewer possesses 40 years experience in purchasing and using the more upscale levels of audio/video equipment. The Sony SAT-HD100 is in the top two or three most disappointing purchases out of dozens made. I've been using it almost one year,...

Pros: Integrated OTA/Cable/DirecTV receiver
Cons: Broke after 1 month of use
Summary: Purchased because it can handle OTA/ Cable and Satellite (DirecTV) inputs in one unit. Picture quality is average, seems to suffer from some red-push. HDTV channels from DirectTV ( HDNet and HBO) are spectacular. OTA broadcast from local CBS, NBC, ABC...

Pros: Picture looks great.
Cons: Noisy, and slow.
Summary: I have owned the RCA DTC-100 for over a year and am generally pleased with it. For over 6 months now I have been looking forward to upgrading to the "new" Sony model that had about 20 different release dates. I finally got tired of waiting and decided to...

Pros: Great Picture! Easy to connect. Remote looks cool....
Cons: Slow channel browse. On-screen guide is not easy to search.
Summary: I bought this tuner one month ago, and I love it. I have it connected to a Sony KP-61XBR300.
It connected quickly and easily. The picture is AWESOME in all modes, especially 1080i. The picture is not squeezed or stretched in any way.

Pros: Integrated digital tuner, great picture, easy setup.
Cons: Price
Summary: I purchased the HD100 to go with my Sony KW34XBRHD2 TV, which is an HD monitor. Out of the box, the setup was a snap, all I had to do was connect my DBS, Off-Air Antenna and Cable in. Done. The unit was up in 10 minutes from unpacking.
I have...

Pros: Good picture, like the front display.
Cons: Audio sync, 1080i inflexability!!!
Summary: What is Sony thinking? I ended up being a "beta tester" by buying one of the first 250 of these glitch beasts. MOST IMPORTANT! If your HDTV does NOT have a 16x9 mode run like the dickens away from this product! I have a Toshiba TN55x81, and this applies...

Pros: First true integration of Directv and antenna channels (HD and standard)
Cons: Noisy fan. Slow channel changing.
Summary: I waited for over a year for a high definition receiver to go with my HDTV ready wide-screen tv that was worth it... and though this might have a couple rough edges... this is pretty amazing. Sony has found a way to integrate Directv and UHF antenna...

Pros: Singe receiver for off-air broadcasts, cable TV and DirectTV.
Cons: Warning--this product has an audio defect!
Summary: I have been waiting to upgrade to a HD satellite receiver for over six months since I purchased my Sony KP53XBR300 HDTV-ready receiver. I waited for the Sony unit to maximize the likelihood that the TV receiver and the satellite unit would be...
