Avoid the 360 like the plague! It has major audio problems.
Directv is replacing them upon request because they have had
so many problems. I have a Sony HD200 and like it very much.
I also have a 360 which is being replaced as we speak.

I've had a 160 now for 2 years.. I love it. The 10.1 software has
been very solid. Menu speed is good, lots of outputs, simultaneous
outputs are a benefit as well. see if you can pick one up re-sale,
since they've been replaced by the 360 for awhile now....
