Strengths: Sattelite HD picture appears adequate

Weaknesses: Menu unacceptably slow.., OTA reception completely unacceptable

I just upgrade both televisions (living room and Master bedroom) from standard Dirctv to HD. In the bedroom DTV shipped the HR10-250. Along with the upgraded receivers a new sattelite dish was required with 3lnbs and I chose to have DTV install a OTA antenna as well. The OTV reception via the HR10-250 is frankly.....pathetic. I unplugged the cable for the OTV and plugged it directly into my 37 inch LCD by LG and I immediately received all local stations nicely from the very OTV antenna that DTV installed. This immediately told me that it was not the antenna but rather the HR10-250, which is obvisiously having a problem. DTV is suppose to come out and attempt a tweak or repair but frankly, considering the cost of this receiver, this unit is a completely inadequate in every possible way.

Regarding the menu, I could rewrite war and peace in a quicker fashion.
