How many FTA receivers do you have?

[PopcornNMore]

I probably own about 50 - 60 analog receivers and because of this some people think i'm strange. However, I only own 2 digital FTA receivers. The newest model is the Coolsat 4000 that I should upgrade soon due to lack of new features.

I see in several threads that some people (especially Iceberg ) have multiple digital FTA receivers that they use. I should probably start selling all those analog receivers on EBay and use the money to buy newer digital FTA receivers.

I have 5 , counting a skywalker-1 as a receiver. 2 Merc's, a Buzz Plus, Visionsat IV200 . The next one that I buy will have to be a special box. I'm hoping that Dish will win it's battle to secure the signal, and I can buy a Pansat 9200 on the CHEAP !.
