How many FTA receivers do you have active?

[Mr Tony]

Since it was brought up in a thread that the "average" FTA user probably only has one receiver that they use, I'll throw this out. Now I know the numbers might be "skewed" but its pretty simple question

How many FTA receivers do you have setup and active? Lets exclude analog & 4DTV. Just DVB

-one
-two to three
-four to five
-six to nine
-ten or more

Only count active (hooked up)...because some of us have probably 1/2 dozen or more in a closet somewhere

 

[Mr Tony]

lets see

Coolsat 5000 x2
azbox
Viacast 2000
Pansat 1500 (used mainly to aim dishes but blind scans G16 C-band)

3rd CS5000 (wouldnt consider active as I use that to blind scan C_Band and its too cold to be outside right now)
Coolsat 8000 (now that I fixed that azbox recording "quirk" its not used as much)
Quali-TV (analog ports are shot in it...only works on HDMI & dolby digital)
3 other simple receivers (BEC, Pansat 2100, Pansat 2500 clone)

so its 5 active...11 total...plus 3 analog recievers

 

[tds04]

1 Coolsat 6000 -- main receiver for blind scan
1 Viewsat extreme -- something to watch while the other scans

1 Pansat clone --inactive-- to take out to the dishes

more to come as im missing out on hd stuffs

 

[Bill_KY]

Two here, One at my other location and another One for aligning realigning the dishes.

4 out of 6

Not counted is a analog General Instrument used as C-Band dish mover at my other location.

 

[dfergie]

Coolsat 5000 although I do hear HD calling

 

[ebo]

1 azbox
1 coolsat 4000 pro for blind scan and to feed the tivo (don't have the azbox set up for pvr yet)
1 traxis 1500 for occasional use when I'm at the farm

 

[TimLones111]

1-Fortec Star Dynamic-Though I might be looking for something that would be a slight upgrade in either a Coolsat or Pansat, since some of them can be had pretty cheaply now..

 

[Lak7]

AZBox with Vantage slaved
Diamond with Traxis slaved

 

[rgk]

1 Fortec mercury II
1 Coolsat 6100
1 Traxis 3500

 

[vanalex]

I have two.

1 CoolSat 6000 for blindscanning
1 AZBox Elite HD.

 

[phlatwound]

2 separate systems:

Coolsat 6000 with AzBox slaved (C & Ku)
Coolsat 6000 with Diamond 9000/Quali-Tv slaved (Ku-only)

 

[stogie5150]

Azbox on Living room TV
Diamond HD in bedroom slaved from the Azbox
Vantage 1100 HD In my Man Cave
Coolsat 5000 on 1m Ku Dish that I never use in the Man Cave also.

 

[qwert1515]

I have a maximum of four receivers active at one time.

CoolSat 6000 or Pansat 3500 for DVB-S blindscanning.
Twinhan 102G for DVB-S
DVBWorld 2104D for DVB-S2
BroadLogic 2030 for BLSA and DVB-S

 

[Dishman Dan]

Coolsat 6000 for C Band

Pansat 3500SD for Ku band


Technically both are "limited" service due to high winds messing up my BUD and 39" dish!

 

[gremlin411]

I have two active.
1 coolsat 5000
1 Azbox slaved to cs5k. ( need to run cable )
also
1 cs5k to take to the dish.
1 GI 450i never used but just in case.

 

[jdbob]

I just said one although I can have two active, but rarely do.

Viewsat Max HD (Living room, active)
Fortec Mercury II (Bedroom, rarely used)

 

[PANHANDLER]

Pansat 3500 on bud c/ku ( at my desk )
Fortecstar Dynamic for ku ( at my desk )
2nd Pansat 3500 in other living room , Icon S550 in bedroom
switched with fortec for ku

4 active ( AZBOX coming soon :} )

 

[Blindowl1234]

Only use the Fortec Dynamic now. I have an old Sonset junker in the garage...my first FTA box.....Thinking about the Sathawk from Sadoun though. Blind

 

[Larry1]

I selected 4.
2 computer cards. (Twinhan 1020a, Nexus-S)
Digiwave 7000
GEOSATPro DVR1100c

The 2 computer cards are used for timer recording everyday. The Digiwave is for upstairs viewing and the GEOSATPro for viewing and recording downstairs.

Not connected currently, a DVBWorld DVB-S2 PCI2004C, Visionsat IV200, Coolsat 6000, Lifeview LR300 PCI card.
