My parents decided to get the cablevision receiver and the receiver is a piece of crap. It lacks basic things like sorting and organizing favorites. I would avoid if at all possible. Also, I do believe you are mistaken on the price of the Bein package with CV--it is $300 per year, not $180.
Additionally, with the Bein receiver, all of the sports channels are in HD--not all of the ones that come with CV are in HD. Bein also offers movie channels and other entertainment so while you may not get the OSN channels, there are other options. And finally, there is I think an online option, so you can watch matches on another device if you are not if front of your TV. If you lose the signal in the rain or other weather, this may help you get over that (at least the LL37,500 option has that).

Thank you much. Doesnt the 300 dollars include the installation fee and then I renew yearly for 180 ? Isn't that the price for the basic package + bein only(without osn) Or have I got it all wrong ?
The $300 is the annual subscription fee which is Bein plus OSN--afaik, they don't give you an option without OSN. Initial setup costs will be around $75 for the receiver, 10 or $15 for the card, the $300 for the subscription and any installation costs, so close to $450 for a year startup.
Edit: just noticed the new prices. The Bein without OSN is new and is indeed $180. So, your installation would be around $280 or so, Still have issues with receiver though, but if price is a factor, than go with the less expensive option. If I could choose my own receiver, I would choose CV in a heartbeat, but their receivers have a terrible interface, so I would chose something else.
