I like and use the Fortec and Traxis DBS 3500 receivers Blind Scan

There is no/very very little FTA EPG in this country.

I realized that, my bro lives in Europe and has the FTA, it's insane the amount of info, and also can select the language of the film, 16:9 and 4:3 and the coolest thing, you press the 1 key on the remote and it will give you a screen with 20 thumbnails of channels select the channel and done.. kind of like a multiplexer....

if I decide to change RX's it's a matter of changinf the coax, power cable and blind scann, it should find everything I a;ready have if not more right, maybe a little play with the skew and I should be set.....

we can hope... doubt it'll happen though. The U.S. is falling way behind a lot of countries in a lot of ways because of egomanic monopolies that want every penny from as many customers as possible. It's sad but true... Read somewhere a few days ago that the U.S.'s high speed internet is way way behind some other countries...
