    Receiver price drop soon??

    If new scrambling methods are on the horizon, do you think there will be a receiver price drop once the hackers get foiled? I like my receiver but I want blind search. Don't know if I could hold out.

    Slave my cband receiver with loop out?

    Could I come out of my FTA receiver's loop out and into my anolog receiver? I was worried about the voltage 18/14v coming out of the analog receiver into the FTA. Right now I only use the cband for motor control and H/V on some channels. My KU is separate.
