You might want to shop around at Sadoun's first. Look at the upgrades for the systems too. You can upgrade to a Fortec 90 cm for 15 dollars!

Might want to compare LNB's too. I'm no expert, but it seems like the Fortec LNB that is on the Sadoun site is a better LNB. It seems to have a broader frequency range. You might want to confirm this first though. (Maybe this is why the system you posted is advertised as an IA5 system?)

It depends on what you are looking to pick up. If you are looking for a single satellite setup like IA5 or G10 that looks like a really good deal. But if you are looking for a motorized unit then you'd need to upgrade right away.
Please note that the Lifetime ULTRA advertised in the ad above is no longer available from Fortec. It is a discontinued model replaced by the Lifetime CLASSIC NA. Also when you click on the link to the receiver the picture is not for the Lifetime ULTRA. It is an old picture for the Lifetime which was discontinued almost 2 years ago. You shold check with that supplier if they have it in stock.
With CLASSIC NA it is easy to find these FTA channels on IA5 or AMC4. Once, you get the dish aligned correctly all you have to do is perform a BLIND SEARCH (aka Power Scan). The receiver will find every FTA channel on that satellite.
Good luck to you.

Thanks everyone. I'll also be checking out some of the other options given to me in this thread. At this point, I only want what's on IA5. Eventually, I will want more. I just want something to start off with first.
