Very cool - my misunderstanding has lead to more insight. To me it sounds like I need to commit to something first. Once I do I'll be back. Thanks.

Ahh. That makes more sense, so no guide means no real use for PVR - so why the frick would I want that without being a pirate. I understand. Well, that's unfortunate, I figured since the companies who sold the receivers wouldn't promote piracy so why advertise EPG ability. Your snarky...

Right - double post - didn't see my first one go through .... Sorry about that....... the second one is clearer. So there is no guide? I've watched video on youtube that shows a guide? And each of these receivers say they have "EPG" which I figured was similar to a guide. I thought...

Hey. Sorry if I haven't been clear yet. Your the third or fourth person to comment on that. Maybe I can clear that up I'm looking for a HD FTA Receiver that has a PVR. I want the PVR to be able to #1 Record an HD channel #2 Record another HD channel at the same time I'm not interested in...

You know I might be looking for a Rolls Royce at Yugo prices. Sounds good to me. Where can I find that? ^_^ I not sure how much I'm willing to spend, I think my budget right now needs to stay under $1500 for the complete package. In a quick search I think I can easily accomdate a 36 or 39"...

Thats awesome - thanks for the heads up. I started looking at dishes and was thinking I just could get away with something like a 31" or smaller. I will look into making sure I go no smaller than 36 when I start. Thanks!!! ^_^

Not that I want to start an argument with you empiretc - but I have tried to answer each question that has been asked of me. (Actually, reading back through the thread there really hasn't been that many) - Nor really sure what's up with the snarky comment. Is this typical of this forums senior...

Wow, it's hard to get a straight answer on the internet I'll tell ya'll that. I've got conflicting information from operators that are telling me otherwise. I think the multiple satellite thing has made my question more complicated than I orignially thought. I'm going to dumb it down. So...

Thanks Tron - I really haven't done much dish research yet, so I"m not really sure how that all works. I have heard of Ku and C-Band - I was not sure how big or small of a dish I needed to have to see either of these. Six foot dish for C-band eh.... wow..... that's probably not cheap eh.

Haha Horrible Definition !!!! Nice. My interest is with the tech side of things. I recently met somebody who told me about FTA and I had honestly never heard of it. I've already got the Canadian version of a TiVo (a Motorolla PVR) so I can already record HD and watch HD.... I don't plan on...

Thanks for the insight. I have done a fair amount of research. I have gone through each major receiver (Diamond, SV, PanSat, NFusion, and CW) reading the reviews and comments from this forum (and many others). I guess my interest is in keeping my signal as crispy clean as possible no matter...

Thanks for responding. But no I'm not talking about support in hacking or stealing pay TV. I didn't mention anything of the sort, I would hope that your not that rude to all new members trying to start out with FTA receivers. ??? S'allright though, I'm sure you get tons of people trolling...

Hey people. First off I'm new, from NS Canada, I consider myself a pretty advanced tech person and I'm about to enter into the world of FTA. These forums, and other sites are packed full of info, and I've done a couple days of research but can't seem to find any topic that touches on what...
