Yes I have, the A/V sync is set to 0msec

I've had my 805 for about 3 weeks now and I can second all the Pro's that you mention. However, there is one GLARING issue that plagues mine (and apparently many other people's 805 as well): There is about a ~1/4th-1/8th second delay in the audio no matter what source I am using and...

You guys have some real good points. But since my computer is already an HTPC and running Media Center, I might as well by a PVR card for it and make into a fully featured HTPC to use w/ the Viewsat fta. I don't really feel like paying 300 bux for a TIVO subscription, and I feel it is much...

Ya, also you can record and go right into burning on dvd right away without even having to leave Media Center. Do you think it would be better for me to get a FTA DVB PCI card for the PC? Or is getting a standalone box like the Viewsat better?

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. Now I am wondering if an extra 40-50 bux is worth it for faster blindscan. I'm not familiar with the normal wait times for blindscan; is it that big of a hassle to sit through? And how often will you have to do a blindscan? I just checked the viewsat site and...

Hi, Im very new to FTA receivers. My uncle is an FTA satellite installer and is offering to sell me the Viewsat 2000 platinum for 150 bucks (including the dish). I'm just wondering what the differences are between the Platinum and the Extreme. To me they look pretty identical in photos and...
