My longtime DTV dealer has advised me to buy an Ariza 800.
which, apparently, does Echo and Bev.
I don't see any forums discussing this receiver. Any thoughts?

Also, where can I get uploader software ,fixes and how-to info.?

I knew my way around P2 and P3 cards, but FTA is new to me and I have to start all over.

nup go to ftacentral.com and scroll down to ariza 800, loader and fixes are posted there, no new bin's yet, so hang in there
