The pricing of this product is based upon first-time activation of satellite service.RCA's DS4240RE is a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) system that combines an 18-inch, dual-LNB dish with a DirecTV satellite receiver. The internal 32-bit processor makes accessing the receiver's features fast and also speeds up the rendering of the on-screen seven-line display and program guide. The program guide tells you what you're watching and what's coming up on other channels. You can also set it to display Caller ID information (if you subscribe to the service from your local phone company), so you can choose not to answer the call from your mother-in-law if you're watching a good flick. What's more, there's a search feature, called "Scout," that will let you look for favorite shows using up to eight key words, such as "wrestling, "Jell-O" and "bikini." If you've got kids in the house, you'll be glad to know that you can lock out channels to keep their young eyes from objectionable programming. If your VCR lacks DBS control, the receiver can be programmed to turn on and tune in to eight different events. The internal software can be upgraded via satellite, so you can rest easy knowing that you won't have to put this unit out to pasture before its time. S-video connectivity can deliver a higher-quality image, but the RF and composite video jacks provide additional connectivity options. Because the dish sports a dual LNB, you can add a second ("slave") receiver whenever you want for independent programming in another room.
