The only receiver I payed for was the Executive Director everything else was
free. I got the exec cause I will have it directly connected to my projector

I only have one Exec. so that would leave my two pvr-250's with nothing to
do.  I don't use MythTV to cache livetv I just use it as  really cool VCR.
