Amazon.com Product Description
Looking for ultimate flexibility and future readiness? Then you're looking for Samsung's SIR-TS360 high-definition DirecTV Receiver and HDTV tuner, an all-in-one set-top box offering unprecedented reception of all 18 ATSC over-air digital broadcasts formats, analog broadcasts (NTSC), as well as more than 225 channels of digital satellite programming from DirecTV. With it 7-day DirecTV Advanced Program Guide, selectable output formats, built-in games, and true videophile design, the SIR-TS360 is a great choice for HDTV content reception.
Other stand-out features of the SIR-TS360 include a DVI (digital video interface) with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and complete remote operability: the unit is RS-232-capable and Crestron-approved. A guide-search function lets you scan program listings via the names of actors, movies, and other one-step search fields. A picture-in-guide window lets you continue watching a program while surfing the listings, or Samsung's Quick Guide will display listings one 30-minute time-slot at a time in an opaque overlay atop your program.
The SIR-TS360's 7-day Advanced Program Guide integrates both analog and digital signals for seamless switching between programs broadcast via satellite and via terrestrial antenna. The receiver/tuner, which features a bilingual user interface (English and Spanish), also lets you search available programming by keyword and schedule specific programs to watch (the receiver will power on and switch to the appropriate station at the appropriate time).
Consistent with the all-in-one theme, the SIR-TS360 offers selectable output formats, including 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i. This lets you optimize performance by matching the output to your digital television monitor's native resolution, whether you're using a plasma-, LCD-, DLP-, or CRT-based set. Additionally, the SIR-TS360 simultaneously outputs standard 480i composite-video, allowing a dual connection with an analog TV or standard VCR.
A full complement of audio/video inputs and outputs accommodate current and future devices. These include component-video (Y, Pb, Pr), RGB+HV (15-pin D-sub), DVI, composite-video, and S-video outputs, and 1 each optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs for Dolby Digital 5.1 passthrough to a compatible audio/video surround receiver and speaker system. The unit offers 1 each composite-video, component-video, and S-video inputs.
Samsung makes an optional RF remote (model SRC-S401RF/A) as well. You can use an RF remote jack and cable to operate the receiver when it's installed in a cabinet or in another room in your house.

A Lot of Hot Air!.......2007-11-25
We recently got DirecTV after seeing their ad blitz for 75 HD channels. They brag about their "digital picture and sound," and their great customer service.
The truth is the only way to get digital picture and sound is with a HDTV and an HDMI. Their picture is actually worse than the picture we got with Comcast. Not to mention there is no two year agreement with cable, no picture loss when it rains, you do not have to pay for "leased equipment, and you do not need an ugly dish hanging on your house.
When we purchased our most recent HDTV, we figured we would replace the DVR we had with DirecTV and get an HD DVR to replace it.
DirecTV told us we would have to pay $299 for the privlige of leasing their receiver from them. In addition to this we would have to pay $50 because we were a new customer "and had not established a credit history with them." Also, we would have to pay $20 for shipping and handling and extend our contract for another two years.
Maybe DirecTV thinks it is in the cellphone business because all they want to do is lock you into long-term contracts and make you bleed money to them forever. Their symbol should be a ball and chain because that is what they really are. Cable here I come!
I've owned This one for a couple years now.......2007-05-16
I'm just going to give you my bottom line:
It works as advertised EXCEPT when the HD signal starts to go out. My particular system will HANG if signal is interrupted (say by bad weather), requiring me to reboot the unit.
Good Product, a few quirks.......2007-02-14
I also bought this unit used, and got the "clicking" issue.
Hook it up, and (for me) 3 hours later it was cleared up.
I don't even have this hooked up to my directv account, it works standalone with OTA signal. Now THAT'S A NICE FEATURE.
Yes, you need to make sure you choose "No Dish". Get the PDF product manual, its very simple.
But after that, it works well. I have OTA HD signals coming in. And the "option" to add it to my directv account if I choose.
But again, this is a good as any standalone OTA unit I've found.
..
Great, if you see past the initial effort..........2006-05-12
My ts360 is great; there are lots of features in the menus to customize your use and appearance of the guide. I use mine solely as an OTA receiver, and bought it second-hand. There were a few issues...
The first was, since it was stored away for a while by original owner, it would not power up right away. There was a constant clicking noise; no display. After letting it click away for a few hours, it came back to life. Then a "boot fail" error on the display. You can still bypass this by pressing 'select' to get to the menu to choose "no dish". The receiver resets itself, then works like a charm. I was so happy to get all my local digital/hd channels. BTW, both problems were solved by a little 'googling.'
The ts360 is easy to use, and the guide still provides you with almost all the info (times, descriptions, etc.) on programs found on the digital subchannels (18.1, 24.1, etc.). I've had no problems with it ever since I revived it.
Pretty Junky. Skip it........2006-03-20
My particular unit was very unreliable. Would just restart periodically going through the whole "BOOTING" process, which takes 3 to 5 minutes. Finally it just stopped working altogether with a "BOOT FAIL" message. While it did work, I thought that the user interface was pretty lackluster on par with a cable box from 5 years ago. They should have put more time in making it work better than include ridiculous 'circa 1980' video games buried down in the menus (like the one where the snake grows with every dot it goes over). Lame. Find a different one than this underperformer.

Useless garbage, get gilsson instead !!.......2007-12-19
This antenna is garbage. I bought it over the gilsson because of the garmin name & because I didn't want to spend $99 for the other more expensive antenna that garmin sells.
I will give it 0 stars of I could! Get the gilsson for abt 25 shipped. I finally trashed this & got gilsson instead. The gilsson maintains perfect satellite signal on my old streetpilot 2610, even under tree cover & tall buildings.
Just my $.02...
Fantastic Antenna.......2007-12-08
I always had trouble getting good reception in our van with my Garmin 76 GPS. As soon as I plugged this antenna in and slapped it on the roof of the car, the signal bars went to maximum.
works best with an unobstructed view of sky.......2007-12-02
Antenna works as advertised but still requires unobstructed view of sky, connection to palm is VERY hard to remove.
Works just fine........2007-11-06
Nothing much to say here. I use this in conjunction with a Garmin iQ3600, and it just works. The magnet base is strong enough, the cable long, and the antenna is small. The reception is much better when using this antenna. The price is low, compared to what you find in stores.
Stop losing reception.......2007-10-22
I use my Garmin GPSMAP 76cs for business everyday. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to lose reception on the way to a customer's location. It had become all too common that I would not have reception or lose reception, or even better yet, have the GPS tell that I was all of the sudden over 1000 miles away from my location.
Those days are a thing of the past. Upon turning the GPS on, it usually finds 11-12 satellites will full signal strength within 60-90 seconds. Even in very overcast conditions or bad weather, I have yet to lose the signal. It will hold 5-6 satellites with varying strengths in bad conditions. I highly recommend this antenna.
The antenna has a strong enough magnet that it made it through the car wash when I forgot it was outside the vehicle. Having a GPS is an amazing convenience, having one that always works is just terrific! Thanks Garmin & Amazon!
