    Ref the Edision just understand its a well supported receiver, which is why I suggested it.
    Obviously from my signature I love my ET8500's - design wise and feature wise I think its a great box, but it's not a traditional looking receiver which is the downside for some people.
    However, at the current price it's a steal

    Always best to use hardwired over wifi. Wifi is more hassle than its worth imo.
