I'm leaning towards the Coolsat 4000. It seems to be the hot ticket in FTA right now. You can 'buy it now' for $180 shipped on ebay. I'm trying to beat that price right now.
The Traxis does not have blind scan.. Personally I would recommend the Pansat 2500/2700, the Fortec Lifetime, or the Coolsat 4000.. These are the ones I have used in the past.
I also have heard the Digiwave 7000 is a good unit, but I have not used one
If your only intent is to get G10R, and nothing else, then the Traxis will do you just fine too.
You can keep that IE pop-up blocker. I just lost a good post because of it
I know how to turn it off BUT it is not my computer.
In a nut shell the DBS2500 runs ok BUT don't bother because it does not have blind scan. The box leads you to beleave it does. It was free because the Pentagon channel gave us one a work because we are an offical goverment inst. We will use it BUT I hope to help the guys get the 12' dish pointed with my Lifetime Ultra.
Good luck with what ever you get.

thats the one i was leaning towards myself. what do you think of the Traxis DBS2500...
I just picked up a Coolsat for $170 and change to my door. If you don't mind the wait I think you could get close to $160 shipped with a little luck and a badly timed auction.
$180 shipped is the best 'buy it now' price that's common.
