FTA receiver opinions needed

[N0EXE]

Just got 'approval' to install another dish (W5 DSR410). This will free up the other for adding FTA aside the 922. I have looked at what some of what you guys have listed in your equipment, but still would like opinions.

Visionsat IV200 for SD

SD DVB FTA receiver ?

If I were shopping, or looking for deals from members or eBay, I would consider the following as desirable choices:

- Pansat 3500sd depending on intended usage
- Mercury II from Fortec Star
- Traxis 3500 depending on intended usage
- Visionsat IV-200
- maybe a Coolsat 5000 or 6000 depending on intended usage

. . . not at all in that order.

If you search, you should find a lot of discussion on all those receivers.
Most all is positive.

As for what I've spent my money on, see sig. -
I'll certainly have to agree with JeepGuy....

You'll find some good in-depth reviews on some/all of the receivers that Anole mentioned in the equipment review section.

Another vote for the Visionsat for a good standard definition receiver. :up

Blind scan or "smart search" is a very important feature when receiver shopping.
