I like reading about people and there receivers. I also like reading facts. Ice's powervu information was off the hook. So I figured it was time to list the receivers we own currently. In Use or not and a tad bit of information about them. You can also list dishes too.

My receiver I use all the time:

Fortec Mercury II (Love the blind scan)

Others: (currently Not in use)

Rex-I with Square front
(the remote with this works with the pansat v2000. In fact from a website I read. They are pretty much the same box. But when I tried to load pansat firmware onto it. NO GO. Plus the remote is missing a button or two that the pansat has.)
Pansat V2000
Satpros DSR-500
Thosiba TRX120 Analog Video Cypher 2 Plus (Slaved to Fortec for Analog KU) (sortof in and not in use)


The main antenna I use is geosatpro 39' with bullett lnbf and motor HH120

Antennas not in use due to this not being my house. 12 foot mesh c band dish with colarotor KU/C band lnb, Musak dish, and old primstar dish oval with v/h feedhorn. (These are in storage)

Later,

Josh

Lets see...

SonicView 360 Elite and 360 Premier
Traxis DBS3500
Coolsat 4000 and 5000
SatCruiser 2040ACE (deceased...everyone shed a tear now, I miss that receiver)
Pansat 2300

Fortec Star Lifetime original half panel...I think this was the first receiver that would correctly pass AC3...

BEC DBS2000 and 2000+ (old old old) These are unique in that you can create up to 32 LNB profiles with switch and motor configurations, then assign an LNB profile not per satellite, but per FREQUENCY...I wish all receivers were this way

GI 450i analog (and various others)
Dish Network VIP222 for my sub
TechnoTrend S2-3200 PCI card in the HTPC
BEC DST1000 PCI card as a spare
BroadLogic 2030 PCI card with attached BLSA in the HTPC, along with a spare

I think that's all....

Main FTA in house, Pansat 3500SD
Just set up G10R in the garage on Coolsat 5000 working on a 2 deg. setup with a 75e, so far no luck, but did pick up one transponder.........

Numerous old analog receivers which will soon only be good as dish movers and "skewers".
