With the SD box.. .(in the bedroom) the "boot up" is instant. Plus this is the box I take and put in the RV when, say, on a 3 month snowbird run. I give up the "networks"...no biggie, but have all the other stations. Dish, tripod, strength meter and compass. 10-15 minits to set up. Pay the bill on time.
