I have the classic and it works great. I've never updated it, just hooked it up, setup usals, scanned some sats, and watch tv - nothing else needed. If you're just looking to hookup a receiver and watch tv, nothing else fancy, most any receiver will work for basic use. Heck, I have a receiver that I paid $37 for (including shipping), and it does as good of a job tuning channels and basically providing trouble-free tv as any of my other receivers.
