There are several reasons that someone interested in receiving the Glorystar Christian channels would choose a Glorystar system over piecing individual equipment components together.
1. Most Important Reason: The majority of Glorystar viewers are not hobbyists. They desire a system that is reliable, easy to install and simple to use. They do not want to become a technician and learn about C/KU-band, standard, universal, LO frequencies, horixontal/vertical polarity, DiSEqC, 22KHz, active transponders, USALS, RS-232, null modem, transponder scan, power scan, blind scan, channel edit, just to enjoy, watch and listen to Christian TV and Radio stations. Most local installer / technicians either do not know how to install and program FTA systems, or they are under the false impression that FTA systems are illegal! Glorystar provides a system that eliminates the need to be a techie and is simple enough to install that over 80% of Glorystar systems are installed by the customer and the remainder successfully installed by local technician.
2. High Quality hardware that is designed and produced under exclusive contract with leading manufacturers to provide reliable reception of two satellites. A complete system is delivered in a single package including install kit, mounting hardware, cables, grounding and even a compass and silcone sealant! No need to buy anything or make trips to a hardware store for a standard install.
3. Preprogrammed GEOSATpro receivers with no menus to navigate, no satellites to select, no settings to adjust, no switch to program. Assemble, plug, aim and play! (Advanced hobbyist can enjoy the basic functions, but activate the advanced mode and have the features that are expected from a quality receiver.)
4. Well written, step by step instructions, acurate aiming coordinates, installer booking or referral services and a one year warranty with unlimited telephone technical support with knowledgeable bi-lingual (English, Spanish, Russian) staff.
5. Auto updating receiver to add new channels automatically, provide virtual channels with program information / viewer updates and keeping the unit updated with the most current firmware. All seemlessly invisible to the viewer. No new transponders to add, channels to add or delete. (These functions can be overridden by hobbyists in the advanced mode.)
6. Financially support Glorystar through equipment sales enabling us to continue our outreach to increase the number of Christian channels available with a simple system to the average household for no monthly fee!

What kind of system did I want my mom to have in her home? A simple system that a local installer installed, she powers on, changes channels and enjoys her favorite Christian channels (and now three secular international, English language news channels), then powers off and watches her cable channels.
