How durable have people found the receiver? I had the roameo and it worked but the receiver seemed to get damaged too easily.

Have used these collars on my two setters for a couple of seasons. Hunting in the north of Sweden during fall and winter often in both wet and cold conditions. No issues so far. The receiver seems quite durable and well built

I do not believe that the receiver is strong enough. I had to set a clear line of sight for best hearing. I had several electronics to close to the transmitter and had weak and scratchy single. I believe the transmitter is to weak.

I just got a 199 offer on my roamio hd or 9.99 per month. keep in mind the lifetime is not transferrable; once your TiVo dies, it would cost you 149 to get a refurbed replacement.

Awesome product...I love mine. You do need the proper dish receiver to operate the dish. The 311 won't work. When buying the KD5500, it tells which receiver will work. I have the 411K. They are well under $100 at Camping World and Amazon.,

while the squeezebox seems to be a nice radio, i too had connection problems with it way too often. i went another route and am happier (grace mondo). no, i don't work for grace. the mondo doesn't drop connection often (very rare and it is usually the internet), comes with a remote, the battery lasts much longer, and is much easier for non techies to deal with. i'm not sure which radio is better sound quality wise, but i just couldn't deal with the squeezebox signal issues. i don't have that with the mondo.

Yes and I had to use it so I tested the system :-} I actually really like this receiver but I was having some issues with it. I was too busy to deal with it within Amazons return policy window and ultimately got an RMA from HK. I shipped my old unit back and they gave me a brand new unit in exchange.

I own this receiver. It has been a great performer for me . However I am aware of message boards that talk about hdmi board failures for this unit.

The more expensive model was not in stock when one of my amplifiers died. I love powering it and playing music from my PC two stories away, likewise controlling it from anywhere by iPhone. Another perfectly working Marantz receiver that I paid $3,500 for about 8 years ago was kicked out of my home theatre by the SR6008; now I'm thinking about dumping the old model completely and holding out for the top of the line model for my main floor family room (which an Apple TV unit upgraded to similar functionality built into the SR6008--it's just not as slick and reliable).

I have a Zen Sleek (monochrome screen). It has "lasted" in that it "functions." That's the kindest thing I can say about it. It's durable unless you run into things with it, but the firmware is horribly unstable. Of course, that may be different for the color players, which use different firmware.

I think you can find a better receiver for less than you'll pay for this one, do your research. I'm not very happy with the performace and the pirce I paid for it at the time, guess should done my homework and a leson learn for me. good luck.

The receiver is not waterproof. It technically can be used outdoors, in the same way you can go outside with a cordless telephone, but it is not designed for any type of permanent outdoor installation.

I agree with 'water resistant'. Looks like both of them can take a splash or light rain but I wouldn't 'submerge' the controller, or install the receiver were a lot of road mist or natural rain would hit it constantly.As others have stated, a little silicone will seal the ends of the receiver heat shrink better. If you leave the controller out in the rain, well, bad on you... :)

I have the STR-DN1000. Two days ago it started going into "Protection" and then shuts off. It might work for an hour, or only 10 minutes. Anyone else with the issue? And what did you do about it?It worked great until 2 days ago. I have had it since Dec 2009.Sony STR-DN1000 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver (Black)

I had a terrible experience with Sherwood as both receivers were defective in terms of acceptable reception. My advice would be to try another brand. John

Yes this is a problem I am having with my new system as well, same make and model. I ordered a replacement the other day. Seems to be a problem with the receiver, I wrote about it in my review.
