I second that!
I use this receiver strickly for blindscanniing (best on the market!), then I feed the TPs into my Coolsat 8000 and Quali Tv receivers, since these receivers has HD and 4:2:2 capablities.
Man, the choice of receivers are awesome! Just figure out what your desires are as far as programs available for true FTA. If you have a HD television, consider getting a receiver that handle HD. Many FTA receivers are affordable now.
Take a look at the equipment reviews offered on this site, and Google.
I got seven FTA receivers since I started this hobby.
Be warned: This hobby is ADDICTED!!!

System 1: Pansat 2700a with a Moteck SG2100 HH motor drive and a Invacom universal .3 LNB mounted on a Primestar 1.2 meter dish. Also using a Primestar .75 meter with a .8 Channel Master LNB to receive AMC 3 channels (this is because of obstruction in its path!)
Using Extigy External soundcard to encode AC 3 audio.
System 2: Pansat 2000v as a slave receiver on the 4DTV GI 920 system that consists of a 1985 8 foot solid dish with a Cotorola II feed horn and 15 degree LNB. For C Band FTA use.

Thanks to Iceberg's recommendation, I got a CoolSat 5000 for blindscanning purposes. No receiver is perfect, but for $50 on eBay, you can't go wrong.

Absolutely right significant cost. The only advantage is that with the appropriate cam you can use subscription cards in addition to FTA

you got a great receiver. You may need to flash it with the factory software. Once you get it, let us know what is in there. I have the factory software and a better satellite list then what it comes with. The "stock" list is really bad and misses alot of satellites. I have a list you can download into it and it covers 61.5-148 both C & KU Band

try Kijiji first. plenty of Coolsat/Fortecs available even in smaller cities. no need for ripoff shipping and many times you can bargain with them since they're not professional sellers. I got a 1m Starchoice dish made by Winegard for $20 off Kijiji.

try beamon dot com in Kitchener or
worlwidwsatallites in Mississauga.
