If you want easy you will have to wait for Apples NEW I-Sat, the all in one satellite receiver, it does all modes, even those that do not exist yet.

| Just initial setup may be a little rough.
But once that is done, General Operation is like most other boxes, to me at least.

The only oddball thing is adding transponders but once you get the hang of it its pretty easy. But then again I also worked with a Quali-TV

How sensitive is the receiver? So far I have found nothing more sensitive in the Pansat 9200

Are you able to get all KU signals that you're supposed to get? How is the C-Band signal quality? |

Might even try a more creative name like NOV14, then next weekend NOV21 and so on. That way I don't have to delete them right away.
Take care, DC
