    Need some advice on a set top box, looking for a cheapy unit, no recording or anything.
    Anyone have a unit they can recommend?

    I have a HiDEF unit I bought from Beta Electrical - Brand Name is Strong
    was about 125 bucks

    very happy with it - no hassels, easy set up - has a USB input so you can download updates from the website.

    two thumbs up from me

    Believe it or not, when I was working Betta Electrical on the Chrissy Hols, the most reliable unit we had was a Teac.
