Why?
The Sonicview 8000 HD is our TOP PICK for a high definition FTA satellite receiver with recording option. The Sonicview 8000 HD is the most popular and #1 selling model in the HD FTA category. We really love this FTA receiver because of its amazing picture quality when connected through an HDMI cable. This receiver will display high definition and standard definition channels depending on what satellite or channel you are on.
This is a digital satellite receiver with one satellite tuner and one OTA (over the air) antenna input tuner. This OTA (or also referred to as a terrestrial antenna) is very exciting because you can buy an HD antenna from us and get all your local channels and major networks in HD. Other features of the Sonicview 8000 HD include video output to 1080i for an incredible picture, dolby digital output, a USB port for software updating with a USB flash drive or connecting a USB PVR / DVR hard drive for recording.
Looking for more HD channels and want to future-proof your receiver, make sure you get the Sonicview 8000 HD 8PSK upgrade module.
