No need to get the entire home theater stuff. I also have Direct TV and I do know that the regular receiver box will not work and the HD box adds about $250.00.

All you need is that box and the TV. Some LCDs in the 30 inch range are quite affordable.

I am looking at a 42 LCD for about $2900 and a 50 inch plasma for about $3800. Some decent LCDs can be had for less than $1000.

Do you know if we can leave the old receiver in the bedroom with the regular TV? Can we have a mixed system?

Thanks.
