Are these still good for activation?

I was reading that this receiver does not support 8PSK and all channels are moving to 8PSK in 2012? Is it worth buying a used 301 now? Any ETA on 8PSK fully implemented?

Hi all I bought a receiver from eBay and wanted to get an account but rep told me he was getting a receiver error when he tried create my account. Shortly after that I was told that my DP301 is obsolete and can not be activated. Has anyone experienced something like this? I know few people that...
