    WANTED OPINION ON VIEWSAT PVR 7000

    I've had one for several years. It works fine, the interface is a little harder to use than the Coolsat 5000. I've always used it slaved to the Coolsat, so I don't know how well it works controlling a motor. The recording function works well. (Or did, I don't think I've recorded anything...

    History Gone?

    Frank doesn't look any better in HD although Danielle does. I dropped Direct TV a couple of months ago when I figured out 90-percent of what I was watching was on CBS (which I can get with an antenna) or History Channel. $85/month for Direct TV vs. $8 for Netflix. I can wait until it shows up...

    FTV

    It's nice to have it back on KU, LyngSat is now listing God TV on the same transponder as FTV on Amazonas; and there's a bunch of new channels on 11730 H 27500. I'm getting a very strong signal on this in Iowa on a 90cm dish.

    How often do you view the SatelliteGuys forums?

    I try to check every day, although I don't post too often. I'm not nearly as active in FTA as many of you, but I've picked up a lot of very valuable information, and appreciate the dedication of the members of this forum.

    River Broadcasting Schedule?

    If it's not the familiar Bonanza theme, then most likely those are episodes in the public-domain, either they were never copyrighted or the copyright expired. They get the program dirt cheap because they don't have to pay royalties, but the theme song is copyrighted, so something else is...

    Apparently it's gone. It's no longer listed on Fashion One's web site, only satellites covering Europe and Asia.

    Which HD receiver should I get?

    Fashion One HD is on 91.5 EAST (over Asia) they're running crawls about their HD channel making it sound like it's available everywhere. FTV was on 97 W in SD for quite a few years before it went to HD and scrambled. The 2 channels are competitors, FTV being the better of the two.

    So much for new box

    Mine didn't power up the first time I plugged it in. I took the top off and made sure all the internal connections were snug, and also replaced the power cord that came with it (with the euro-to-US adapter) with one from my laptop... and then the Azbox powered up. Later I used the cord and...
