    Flat Panel dish compatible with FTA receiver?

    need help choosing a receiver...

    Thank you for the advise. I read a bunch of reviews (including Iceberg's very informative review) and will probably purchase the Pansat 3500. However, FTA Direct sells it for $200 and I have found it at other places for $150. Does FTA Direct ever "match" other prices? I would prefer to...
