For this FTA receiver, does the PVR option allow recording OTA HDTV signals as well? I am confused on what to buy, want to be able to record OTA HDTV signals as well as any FTA HD channels as well. Thanks

If I were to win, I would definitely say the Visionsat IV-200 due to PVR capabilities and above all 2 remotes!!! Even though both remotes have slightly different functions, this will be the best , one for me and one for the wife!!!! Mahmood

Hello. I was wondering if its possible to hook up my Dishnetwork LNB alongside with my standard KU Lnb so I dont have to have two dishes up on the roof? I have a Disecq switch that I can use to hook up one coax to my FTA receiver and the other one to my dish network receiver. My current FTA...

hahaha ! Thanks for your help guys.

Hi there. I was wondering if its possible to receive IntelSat 10 or AsiaSat 3S FTA channels in Minneapolis MN? Thanks

I agree. A few weeks back I almost gave up on FTA as I was unable to locate 93W which is True South for Minneapolis. Finally took a small portable TV and the receiver up on the roof. Positioned the dish/motor to where I thought the true south angle was and slowly moved the dish until I got my...

I just hooked up my motorized system with the help of other members here. Have a SG-2100 motor and DSB-4700F receiver. When I change channels from one satellite to another, the motor moves to the correct satelltie automatically. Depending on the location of the satellites, the most I have to...

if I disconnect the coax from the Direct TV dish LNB, I can pick up only CBS and FOX HD. If I connect the coax to the LNB I can pick up CW and MNT as well. I am unable to pickup ABC, NBC and Channel 17(1-5), and Channel 41 with the Direct TV dish. All 34 channel digital HD signals were being...

Maybe it is a fluke. I am probably within 5 miles from at least one of the stations so maybe the coax is picking up the channels. Right now with the 18” direct tv dish I can pick up CBS, FOX, CW and MNT HD signal in excellent quality but ABC, NBC are still not detected. The 39” FTA dish with the...

I had been receiving all my local OTA HD signals by hooking up my HD-TV directly to the coax cable from my FTA 39" satellite dish. Was receiving about 34 local channels here in Minneapolis. I have that dish now just for FTA setup. Have an old Direct TV 18" dish laying around that I hooked up...

I will work on this today after work and see if there is an option to input the latitude and longitude. I did end up picking the two spanish stations which you had initially suggested, they come in pretty strong. Thanks for all your help.

Thank you for all the info. I think I will go with a standalone receiver as you guys have suggested. Maybe I will wait for the Fortec receiver when its released.

Hmm, actually I didnt input the latitude and longitude, not sure where the option to enter that is on a Samsung DSB-4700 ? If I go to positioner setting, select Telstar6 (93W) and then user mode, there is an option to calculate Satellite Position, not sure if the receiver would accept this to be...

Thank you so much, this was very insightful. Any recommendation on what type of receiver I should consider. I have read a lot of reviews here in the forums but its so difficult to decide. I would definitely like the blind scan option since my current receiver doesnt have that, HDTV capable as I...

I have a SG-2100 motor, Samsung DSB-4700F receiver with a 39" dish. Does blind scan option on other receivers find more satellite channels than what is listed under different satellites on lyngsat.com ? Also will changing my LNB make any difference in signal quality or number of channels...
