Looking for a new FTA receiver

[larrchev]

Hello
My old favorite receivers,a Pansat 2700A and Fortec Star Ultra work great for me on my favorite six FTA satellites,however they do not receive DVB-S2.Are there newer receivers out there at reasonable prices that can receive DVB-S2?I do not record anything so that's not a necessary option.Also,although I'm a retired electronic tech,I don't want to install internal auxillary boards to receive DCB-S2.Are there any Canadian sites available to purchase new receivers?
Thanks folks!

openbox s9 / s10, great boxes for the price, i had a 3500 (5 of em) i upgraded to it

the best "bang for your buck" dvb-s2 receiver is the openbox s9.....unless you are looking for specific options....

yeah the Openbox is the cheapest S2 receiver really out there. It can blind scan
The Coolsat 8000/8100 also do S2 and can be had cheaper but no blind scan and have been discontinued for a while

Dr Sat is a member on here who is in Canada. I expect you can get a deal from him on stuff you want.
