Any ATSC DTV receiver, or one of the PC DTV boards will work fine. If
you're interested in a stand-alone set-top box, there are plenty of
refurbished units available on eBay, or you could pop across the border
and pick up one of the USDTV units at a Wal-Mart store. Either way,
going rate is about $200US. If you're interested in a PC card, ATI has
a nice product, but they don't distribute it in Canada. However, there
is at least one dealer that I know of that imports them for the US and
stocks them. If memory serves, they retail for about $235CDN.
For ExpressVu, you could just buy and install a 2nd dish and shuttle
the receiver back and forth. Or just buy a 2nd receiver too and add it
to your existing account.
