The GUI/program guide makes the Pal Plus one of my top picks. It's a shame it took Dish Network so long to bring it to market.

What is the difference between the DTVpal TR-40 and the DTVPal PLUS?

Thanks!

The tuner chip in the DTVPal Plus is more sensitive. It was a design change for areas with weak signals.

Thanks, these have the best EPGs and guides going, right?

Im looking to get one to use on the 27" Sanyo, long term (and the DTVpal looks to be the most friendly (especially if it has an improved tuner!). And Im also looking to get one to use for its metering ability.

It has the best program guide of the CECBs. I have one and it works nicely.

I used to have a 19" RCA Entertainment Series that had TV Guide and I really liked that guide!

I have looked for place where the different tuner chips and circuits are discussed. Do you know of a place?

Working in Nevada this week. I'm in a hotel in Nevada on my laptop. I saved some websites with the tuner chip information in my bookmarks on my home PC. When I get home this weekend, I will look through my bookmarks and post with the websites. I've been driving for 14 hours, but when I regain my land legs and thought process, I'll search for the websites and post sooner if I can locate them.
