Merc II. I had one orignally and I sold it. I wish I had it back. I loved the stability and blindscan with all the options, plus it seemed to catch stuff that my other receivers missed routinely.

 

[iafirebuff]

I would choose the Mer II also. My motor died, so I am looking for a new system. Although, if I won, I would keep the motor, and the receiver, and then I would donate the rest of the items to members of this fine board that were in need.

Visionsat / Mercury

I'd go for the Visionsat because it has PVR capability. That would allow me to waste my time in fast-forward mode.

entry for Anole

I have a Mercury II, and think highly of it.
However, I do favor PVR-style receivers, and promote the Visionsat IV-200 to anyone who'll listen.
It'd be my next buy.
Why? It'll record the shows, and using VideoReDo, I can make DVDs from 'em.
Beat that with a stick!

I concur about the Visionsat, I have a couple big hard drives kicking around that could be put to use with a USB-based PVR. Apart from a one small issue that I read about on this receiver, it sounds like a beauty.

A bifold thanks to SatelliteAV for offering this giveaway and also for making it available to Canadians as well - you guys rock! :up

 

[jegrant]

I would prefer the Visionsat IV 200. The PVR functions, and the easy connection with USB are what wins me over. Since I am a Mac user, it would be much easier for me to load firmware and the like through the USB drive, since I do not have a serial port, and would have to use a Serial > USB converter.

I also like the idea of recording to an external drive, then connecting it to my computer for easy editing and archiving. Sounds fantastic!

 

[tsc]

I'd choose the Visionsat IV-200, although I've never used either. In fact, I'd love to get into FTA.

 

[Corrado]

I would go with the Visionsat IV-200 because of the DVR capability. I should have bought something like that when I replaced my Fortec Lifetime Ultra.

 

[tvropro]

Mercury II, I have used one before and it had some features that I liked. I did like where you can back up your channel data to the receiver before you do a factory reset.

 

[cprickett]

I would choose the Visionsat IV-200 because of the PVR recording capabilities. I am new to FTA, and this would be a great way to get started.

 

[Mr Tony]

I would choose the Visionsat because of 3 reasons
1. I already have one and LOVE it
2. PVR capabilities
3. can run a 8x1 Diseqc swicth with no issues

and THANKS to SatelliteAv for another great contest

 

[iceturkee]

i've not had a FTA system before but i'm seriously considering one. looking at the two receivers mentioned, i would also have to choose the visionsat because you can record with it. seriously, i don't think you can ever have enough video recorders. to me, they are the greatest invention since sliced bread!!

 

[stogie5150]

Most definitely the Visionsat PVR, just for the PVR function that is sorely needed in the FTA arena. And that I do not have a PVR FTA receiver that WORKS. Thanks to SatelliteAv for a great contest! :up

 

[PopcornNMore]

I would choose the Visionsat IV-200 due to the PVR capability.

[SatinKzo]

RAransay, where do you live? Sorry, but I have never seen a post like yours. I can't even decipher it near the end.

 

[meldar_b]

one well tested

I dont' have a FTA system yet so anything free would be a great way to start.

I would have to say something well tested like the Fortec Star Mercury II Satellite receiver with everything needed to start in this hobby.

Thanks:up

 

[VinceT3]

Visionsat, mostly for the PVR but also for the USB supported updates, so I can update it without having to remove it from the entertainment center.

Plus my neighbors are starting to wonder why I have 3 satellite dishes (2 from dish and 1 fta) and a few are starting to get interested in the hobby.

 

[digiblur]

I'd want the Visionsat mainly due to the PVR capabilities. Sounds like a nice receiver from the many comments I've read about it.
