how versatile is glorystar ?

Thanks for the insight darrens. I would imagine there is a lot of junk but I tend to think I'm missing something if I have not covered all bases by being able to view all sats. My wife would want news channels and I would be interested in sports but if I understand correctly it is not like flicking stations and watching network tv? How long does it take for your system to lock into broadcasting if you are " flicking" ? If you have a favorites list I would suppose you could get the viewing options to a manageable level and can find all the glorystar programs yourself?

If you have a motor installed and depending upon how far the motor has to go, it could take 10 to 15 seconds to change from one channel to another.

What I do, is make sure that I stay on the same satellite and check the channels on that one before I go to the other and check those channels. I don't go back and foth all the time from one channel to the next. Others here might just load a channel list and go from 123 to 97 to 119 to 97 to 82 etc. but, I try to avoid that!
