    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.

    same here. Its not as difficult as some folks make it out to be

    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
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    Delete the TP=deletes the channels

    I have one sat designed for feed hunting (labelled "MOTOR" and just delete all the TP's after a weekend of feed hunting) so its pretty easy

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

    Don't mean to be off topic, or hijack this thread, but I noticed on your signature that you have "1.2m motorized dish with a WS C-Ku LNB". How does it perform on the motor. Are you able to get all KU signals that you're supposed to get? How is the C-Band signal quality?

    Hi Iceberg, I really like the idea of setting up a satellite just for feeds. I'm going to try that this weekend.

    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
