Gee wiz! I must have about 20 receivers with the acception of some being DTV and DN ird's but most are working FTA stb's, all SD and one HD Pansat 9200. I have my favorites for field testing and blind scanning.

lets see

Coolsat 5000 x2
azbox
Viacast 2000
Pansat 1500 (used mainly to aim dishes but blind scans G16 C-band)

3rd CS5000 (wouldnt consider active as I use that to blind scan C_Band and its too cold to be outside right now)
Coolsat 8000 (now that I fixed that azbox recording "quirk" its not used as much)
Quali-TV (analog ports are shot in it...only works on HDMI & dolby digital)
3 other simple receivers (BEC, Pansat 2100, Pansat 2500 clone)

so its 5 active...11 total...plus 3 analog recievers :)

The receiver desirability takes a dip from the front room to the basement ;) ... I use my Pansat 2700 exclusively for aiming now as well...
 
Welll the DVB stuff I am rocking are:

Coolsat 6000 on the living room tube...
CaptiveWorks 800S in the living room for PVRin'
GeniaTech DVB-S card in my media centre....

And for other 'stuff' thats not DVB:
Star Trak Eight analog receiver for moving the actuator and watchin a few analog feeds.... if any one has a copy of the manual for this receiver, I would pay money for a copy of it!
Bell TV 4100 box Subbed.....
Sirius satellite radio... for the tunes...

In the future, i am looking at going DVB-S2 / MPEG4 / HD compatible ..... when I have some extra cash....
 
I need to get up another dish for G16.... right now if i want to change sats with the 1.2m miniBUD, its go out with the wrench and sig meter... and push it around.

I have another Andrew 1.2m dish, which will be a miniBUD as well... except that wont be up for atleast 2 or 3 more weeks. I am currently building a Polar Mount for it.....

G16 has some good analog feeds too... late in the wee hours of the morning... C Band side TP 17,18 and 19 in the early morning usually have something active on them...
 
Well, now I'm up to 5 receivers.
My latest configuration is
2 CS8000's driving the two motorized dishes,
1 AZbox handling any 4:2:2 feeds
1 Merc II for blindscanning, and the Skywalker-1 back
in service for 4:2:2 feeds that the AXbox can't handle.
I have a Profs 7500 on the way, that will probably replace the
Skywalker-1, most of the time.
:)
