I have just purchased a Samsung Plasma 3D ready TV. Next Wednesday, Direct TV is coming to my home to set up whole house DVR. I have read elsewhere on the net that the High Def HR 20 receiver that is being used in many homes does not support 3D. Supposedly you need a HR 21 or higher receiver...

What would you be looking at for the $300-$500 price mark?
