I've been off Satellite Guys and away from my former favorite hobby of FTA satellite for several years now while going through a bad divorce. Even my satellite dishes and receivers haven't been used in years until today when I fired up my Anaconda HD receiver.

What's New? Have I missed anything? What new receiver is now popular?

Today I flipped through a few C band satellites and the picture quality is excellent compared to OTA. Would like to get back into FTA. First, I needed to get rid of the bees that have made their home inside my feedhorns.

Welcome back PopcornNMore!!! The two most popular receivers as of right now are the Edision Mio 4K and the Amiko Mini HD265.
The Mio is a Linux based box and the Amiko is still a more simple receiver like the one you are used to.
Both are excellent receivers! Brian at Titanium selsl the Mio and I carry the Amiko.

So how long has it been what do you remember last?
Do you still sell that great popcorn?

I also say go for the Edision OS Mio 4k, BUT, they are coming out with a dual- sat-tuner model very soon (the + model), so I'd hold out a little while and buy that one.

It'll be carried by Titanium Satellite.

Here's the link to the present single-tuner model many of us have: Titanium Satellite - Store

Hey welcome back...I remember you from when I started back in 2005! Things have changed quite a bit especially on the receiver side since then. As mentioned above both the Amiko and the Mio are very fine boxes...I have both. All depends what you want...
