Hi,
Im very new to FTA receivers. My uncle is an FTA satellite installer and is offering to sell me the Viewsat 2000 platinum for 150 bucks (including the dish). I'm just wondering what the differences are between the Platinum and the Extreme. To me they look pretty identical in photos and feature list, with the only difference being the addition of component output. If i opt for the Extreme version it is likely to cost me an extra 50 dollars.
But if the only difference is Component outputs, then I don't think it would be worth it for me, since my current tv only has composite/s-video. What do you think i should go with?
I'll be using this with my dolbydigital receiver and possibly hooking it up to my Media Center PC for recording purposes.
