The channel master pal dvr at 400 price tag seems to be too expensive , you might as well get the (AZbox Prem+HD) FTA satellite receiver for 400 cad + 50 cad for an ATSC tuner card + 80 cad for 500GB HDD and you have a dual tuner dual system full DVR that also allows you to watch and record not only free OTA HDTV but also free satellite TV, Dont you think?.

Well you could buy other satellite receivers that also has ATSC tuners and PVR capabilities off ebay for 100 dollars and acomplish something very similar as well.
