Hey Iceberg, what the "receiver coming soon"?

[SatinKzo]

In your signature, you have this line
-Pansat 9200 on motorized, Visionsat IV-200 on G10, Coolsat 5000 on 74, 89,93,97,103,123,119, Coolsat 8000 and Pansat 1500...and a new receiver coming soon


So, what's the new receiver? Or is that just a general tag line, like many of us are always looking to play with something new?

 

[vfrjim]

Probably the same receiver that we are all are waiting for....

 

[Mr Tony]

very observant Satinkzo

Yes I am getting a new receiver. And vrfjim, no its not the same receiver we're all waiting for (what will come "sooner"...that receiver or new Dish HD? )

nope. I'm just getting a new receiver to play with. One that I haven't had the opportunity to play with and got a great deal on it.

 

[Anole]

What do I get if I guess it?
I know: an informative review!

Okay: Mercury II

 

[Mr Tony]

What do I get if I guess it?
I know: an informative review!

sure. BUt what if there already is a review?

Like I say, its a box I havent played with ever. And that can be a lot of receivers

 

[SatinKzo]

Ok, part of the 20 questions:

Does the box in question do HD?

 

[Mr Tony]

according to reviews I've read, yes it does HD.

 

[SatinKzo]

laff, Does it do DVB-S2?

 

[stogie5150]

Diamond 9000 HD? I hope to heck its not a Captain...He already has one of those...the Captain and the Neusat are esentially the same.

Unless its something new...like the new Sonicview 360 HD

He has to choose from...

Sonicview 8000
Coolsat 8100
Captain HD
Captiveworks 3000 HD
Viewsat 9000
Pansat 9000 HD

He has a Neusat HD,Pansat 9200,Coolsat 8000.

 

[SatinKzo]

Well, of those, I think the 4 (or 3) that do DVB-S2 are the coolsat 8100, pansat 9000, Diamond and maybe the viewsat 9000. I know I said it did it earlier, but I was playing today and I am having problems reproducing my signal readings I got initially. Of course, this is assuming he answers yes to my earlier question.

I had to google the SV 360, I had never heard of that one.

 

[Mr Tony]

Y'all are funny...you'll just have to wait and see

Spoil Sport...

Humax?

 

[SatinKzo]

If you got a good deal on a QualiTV, that would be cool

 

[dishMIKE]

That's what I think it is.Mike

 

[Anole]

If he got a Quali, I'll send you cold 'n frozen folks a bit of today's 90º+, 5% humidity weather!
In other words, no way ! -

 

[Mr Tony]

laff, Does it do DVB-S2?

not that I know of

 

[Mr Tony]

Guys it could be a PC card or one of those boxes that is like a PC card but doesnt go in the computer

 

[janzy]

I'm thinking you're getting a Skywalker 1!

 

[qwert1515]

Does it decode 4:2:2 ?

 

[Anole]

just say no

I'm betting against a PCI card and against a USB box . . .
. . . unless there is a new computer associated with it ! -
Guess we'll find out. -
