AWESOME! I just got the cables switched around and have my Primestar that is pointed to G10 hooked into the SatPros in my wife's home office. Picture is great, set up easy! I skimmed the manual, but it is not really needed 
I just ordered a DSR-500 :)

OK. That's a couple of people who I've seen mention "Excellent Picture". Really, is there that much of a difference between manufacturers? The whole MPEG decoding of the picture should turn out the same on all of the different receivers I would have thought. Do some manufacturers cut corners somehow in the decoding process to build the picture? In a side-by-side comparison, on say the CBS Newspath channel, is the picture noticably different between different receivers?
pix quality
Maybe we were surprised so much good, came in such a small package.
I was feeding a fairly big LCD TV, and I'm always on the lookout for incompatibilities.
I thought the menu graphics looked a little less than sharp, but more than adequate for use.
While playing with the menu on the Satpros, I found that telling it I had a PAL-only TV sometimes made the menu graphics look clearer.
In the end, I set the format back to NTSC-only.
With no svideo nor component out, I used the composite video.
Anyone using the modulator output, ... I don't think you get to gripe.
Well, unless the modulator quality was really bad...

I give up on my search for SatPros info. You are right, everything out there is a hack site. I am niave on thissubject, but I did read a warning that loading a file onto your receiver can kill it. Why take that chance? I wonder how many of the FTA dishes I see in town are hackers or legit? Sorry, I digress.
I have my SatPro hook up with the RCA's. As a bonus, my tv was the default code inthe remote, so it already works controlling my tv

I would be tempted to update the firmware on the Satpros if a new version with Blind Scan capability came out
I am located in Canada. I see lots of houses with 3 or 4 dishes, all with DBS LNBs on them, and judging by the angles, I know that they're pointed at 61.5, 82, 91, 110, 119 . Not much FTA on those birds..
Got mine yesterday, wanted to watch a feed on it last night, but danged if the feed wasn't 4:2:2
I wish it would show the meter when scanning, or maybe I didn't see where that shows. Also I couldn't find where to delete the entire channel list??
Looking for that feed last night made me realized I HAVE to have two things. A receiver with blind scan, and a motor.

the program guide doesn`t show you whats coming on. it says it has seven day epg buy I have none. are they all like this?
Most US satellite signals don't have EPG. Which satellite are you pointing at with no EPG?
I just got mine and it works very well.. so much easier than PC setups.. signal looks really good..
signal looks really good..
you missed the boat
But they were all gone prior to last weekend.
We're just now getting our shipments.
There is nothing wrong with the receiver
The deal for SatelliteGuys members was $25 + $12 shipping.
