Hi,Simply put, my boss has more money than I can imagine.
He wants me to select hima disk system for his office.
He is just looking for something comparible to standard cable. Cox is in ourt area, but wants $3K to drag a cable into a business park.Who shoudl I select?
Can anyone offer pros and cons of each.This will be feed into two TV's.
One is a small desktop TV, the other is a 60" hi-def plasma on the wall.Thanks, in advance for any help offered.

Since your boss just wanted something similiar to cable and you have two TV's; one HD plasma and one small SD TV, you might want to consider Dish's new DVR 921. It has dual tuners, a 250 GB hard drive and a channel modulator that down converts HD into SD so non-simulcast HD programming can be watched on the SD TV. It comes with one RF remote you could use with the Plasma in one room and then request a second IR only remote to operate the sat box in the other room with the SD TV. That way you can have the plasma in the room without extra equipment. Of Course you will need a long component/audio cable to get to the plasma from the sat box, so don't keep them too far apart. You can use Extron 10 conductor pro-wire if you want one neat high quality cable to bring HD video and audio to the plasma. Call Dish and ask for any promotions. There is a lot of stiff competition in the satelite industry right now. You would probably be wise to call Direct and Voom too, to see what they are offering at the moment.
DISH, DirecTV, Cable are pretty much same CR^& packaged differently. I currently am a subject of DISH plus OTA HD antenna(GREAT!).If your city ordinances, allow, the best Quality would be B.U.D. (Big Ugly Dish). These are the humongous, ugly dish that will receive pretty much anything that walks, runs, flies in the air.
These receive the original clean, uncompressed digital signal that satelite and cable companies receive and then degrade/compress to send to your own little dish at home.
That thought has crossed my mind, BUT it is more complex & expensive for the equipment, not to mention the cost of subscriptions.Is there a website or link for BUDs for the newbie?
