Ok so I bought a new TV and it's got it all. But I was very surprised when I switched to my satellite and saw how horrible the picture was. After some research, I came to the conclusion that the current receiver box we are using is 'K-BOX Ka Hero' and is probably not HD. So I guess I need to buy an HD receiver box? Just like the Rogers box (which I am also replacing today to an HD Nextbox unit)
Now here are my questions, since I don't know much about how these Free-to-Air systems work:
-Do I have to buy the exact same brand of receiver boxfor us to get the same channels (international)? Or is that not necessary as long as the Dish itself is the same?
-Having said that, if I can buy from other brands, what should I look for? Should I just look for HD FTA receiver box and anything will do? For example, BestBuy and FutureShop have these receiver boxes but they all have Rogers and Bell on them? I am assuming I can't use those?
-There is a company called Dreambox. If I buy their receiver box and just swap it with my existing one, would we get the same channels with no interruption? or is there more to it?
Thanks for all your replies.
