Gee wiz! I must have about 20 receivers with the acception of some being DTV and DN ird's but most are working FTA stb's, all SD and one HD Pansat 9200. I have my favorites for field testing and blind scanning.

 

[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

as of today
Coolsat 5000 (main room)
azbox (main room)
Geosatpro 200 (computer room)
Viacast 2000 (basement)
Toshiba TRX1420 (analog...main room)
Satpro (I think...analog..basement)
Sathawk 800 (main room)
Pansat 1500 (used for aiming dish and once in a while watching tv)

in closet
2 Coolst 5000's
Coolsat 8000
Quali-TV
BEC 6600
Pansat 2500 clone
SA 9234 Powervu unit (no card)

The receiver desirability takes a dip from the front room to the basement ... I use my Pansat 2700 exclusively for aiming now as well...

Welll the DVB stuff I am rocking are:

Coolsat 6000 on the living room tube...
CaptiveWorks 800S in the living room for PVRin'
GeniaTech DVB-S card in my media centre....

And for other 'stuff' thats not DVB:
Star Trak Eight analog receiver for moving the actuator and watchin a few analog feeds.... if any one has a copy of the manual for this receiver, I would pay money for a copy of it!
Bell TV 4100 box Subbed.....
Sirius satellite radio... for the tunes...

In the future, i am looking at going DVB-S2 / MPEG4 / HD compatible ..... when I have some extra cash....

the basement is just G16 C-Band

 

[tuberadio]

I need to get up another dish for G16.... right now if i want to change sats with the 1.2m miniBUD, its go out with the wrench and sig meter... and push it around.

I have another Andrew 1.2m dish, which will be a miniBUD as well... except that wont be up for atleast 2 or 3 more weeks. I am currently building a Polar Mount for it.....

G16 has some good analog feeds too... late in the wee hours of the morning... C Band side TP 17,18 and 19 in the early morning usually have something active on them...

 

[TiminMB2]

I'm running a Mercury II for moving the dish easily and blindscanning, and I have a PVR type receiver with a hard drive for recording.

 

[freezy]

i gotta coolsat 6100 for blindscanning and motor control and and azbox elite running in slave mode because it can't run my sg2100 for beans

Welcome Carlos!



I have a cw650

 

[Mr Tony]

welcome carlos

 

[brentb636]

Well, now I'm up to 5 receivers.
My latest configuration is
2 CS8000's driving the two motorized dishes,
1 AZbox handling any 4:2:2 feeds
1 Merc II for blindscanning, and the Skywalker-1 back
in service for 4:2:2 feeds that the AXbox can't handle.
I have a Profs 7500 on the way, that will probably replace the
Skywalker-1, most of the time.
