    Suggestion for complete FTA package - Can I do better than this set?

    Thank you Brian. I see that SatelliteAV is selling the Geosatpro Bullet LNBF. Is this better than the Invacom QPH-031, and if so why? Also can you please compare/contrast the Geosatpro DVR-1100c with something like the Visionsat IV200 or Coolsat 7100? Do I buy the DVR-1100c directly from you...

    Suggestion for complete FTA package - Can I do better than this set?

    Meinename and others, Thanks very much for your comments. Greatly appreciated. Two questions: 1. What is the advantage of BSC-621 over Invacom QPH-031? 2. For receiver, since the Visionsat IV200 is hard to find, I am looking into the Geosatpro DVR-1100c (although I have no interest in...

    Deleted/Missing Weekend Threads in FTA Shack?

    My apologies. I was looking in FTA Shack whereas my posting and discussion were in the FTA discussion forum. I will pay more attention next time!

    Deleted/Missing Weekend Threads in FTA Shack?

    At least a few threads from over the weekend in the FTA Shack forum are missing - one of them was mine (there were 4 replies to it I think, about suggestions for a complete FTA setup). A few other threads which I remember are no longer there also. This was right after what appeared to be a...

    Suggestion for complete FTA package - Can I do better than this set?

    Anole, Thanks very much for your informative reply. Do you know where can I buy a Visionsat IV-200 these days? (a reputable place - ebay is fine as long as the seller has great feedback and the item is new with warranty). Or should I look into the Visionsat IV-300, or another receiver with...

    Suggestion for complete FTA package - Can I do better than this set?

    I am resurrecting a thread from October 2008 here, since I now have the funds to purchase. Any help and advice will be much appreciated. I am looking for a complete FTA package. We have only one TV and would like to watch programming on 97.0 W, 107.3 W and 121.0 W among others. I would like a...

    New to FTA: Receiver Recommendation Please

    Can you please elaborate? Is this receiver only for Glorystar? Can it be used for regular FTA?

    New to FTA: Receiver Recommendation Please

    Thank you Brian - much appreciated. I assume SatelliteAV cannot offer a "package deal" for all the items you outlined (perhaps without the receiver; I can get that off ebay). If it can, please let me know. Two other questions if you or others don't mind: On ebay I noticed a claim that the...

    New to FTA: Receiver Recommendation Please

    Of course, indeed if the best unit for the job has the USB port on the front, then front it is. I agree. However this great unit apparently has been discontinued and is nowhere to be found. I'll have to wait for it's replacement. One question I have: can you playback from the hard drive too...

    New to FTA: Receiver Recommendation Please

    Brian, Can you recommend a full FTA package (motorized, receiver, antenna, LNB, ...) for the pacific northwest (Seattle)? Channels would include those at Galaxy 25 (97W) and perhaps other satellites. I would like a high quality receiver with PVR capability, via a USB port on the back. Thank you!

    Visionsat IV-200 Where (online) can one buy a Visionsat IV-200? (reputable, reliable place). Also is there a receiver as good as, or better than the Visionsat IV-200, but with the USB port on the back, instead of the front? Thanks ...

    The only thing is that when it comes to receivers Sadoun and SatelliteAV's selections are very limited ...

    Yes, just saw that and posted there too. Now having second thoughts. I don't care for hacking at all; just want a solid, regular FTA system. No interest in grabbing paid signals for free.

    Ok, I understand. Personally for me, as a new user, I am just looking for a reliable and good package for regular FTA, do not care at all for hacking. Thanks.
