Not to start a war over it, but that was true a year+ ago before Shaw and Telus released new boxes. Now I doubt it is. The Bell box, which I use frequently, is not nearly as good feature wise compared to the Gateway System and the Optik TV system. The fact that you need to watch the same thing on both TVs is ridiculous plus you need to manually move things to the HDD expander.
Unless there is some other redeeming quality of the 9242 that I have missed, I cannot see a justification for it to be considered the best receiver any longer.
Don't get me wrong, it is still a good box and when it was released it was no doubt the best box you could get, but it is several years old in a market where both competitors have just leapfrogged it.
