    Was the best stb in its' day.Still very good for watching south,if you can find a service that doesn't suck.Works on north,but strange framerates/choppiness plague the video quality.

    I am still using Mine on north, and have none of the strange choppiness or bad video quality
    Mind you my SV8000 is hooked up by Component and to a Non-HD TV, so the Video quality is plenty for my use
    May not be for other users trying it on a 4k or HD TV.

    They don't do hdtv well though Auggie, which is mainstream now.

    Most channels on North are STILL Broadcast at 480p, at best 720p, a handful on 82 are 1080p
    For my viewing the SV8000 Serves what I need, but may not for others that want/need HD.

    You didn't specify north or south service.I won't recommend a south provider,but some will.The SV still works very good for SD south.

    They will do a substandard hd image when using component video cabling resolution set at 720p,but still stutter.I had more than a dozen out there prior to the end of hd south providers.The group all prefer the the DL's now,& rightfully so.It's important to note that many tvs' don't have that connectivity anymore.I won't encourage anyone to use them for north hd.
