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.
The old saying TO-EACH-HIS-OWN.

how do yoy get your serves and how did you pay

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.

[auggie]

It also works Good for North as well

Yes it does do HD Least for Me it does

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.

Like I said before It works just fine for what I need it for, TO-EACH-HIS-OWN

Yessir...that's the truth.Neither of us can argue what the other sees,or how he feels about what he sees.Keep on enjoying what you have bro.This is not a contest.lol
