My vote goes to the Coolsat 8100 with it's PVR on external drive ( or a used CS8000). The reason is it's out-of-the-box DVB-S2 support. I'm watching Big Ten basketball in impeccable HD on my CS8000 right now.
For the most HD get a 10' or 12' dish c/ku-band, a digiwave 9000 or Coolsat 8100, or a pc with pci card.
I'll throw a vote in for the Pansat 9200 because it has a very good blind scan. It's also PVR capable.
Hmm, bad tuner, no dvb-s2 and even with the add on board there is no blind scan on dvb-s2.
The Pansat 9000 was a much better unit.
True about the S2 add in board but , bad tuner? It plays feeds with a quality as low as 35% without any problems. It's not a perfect box by any means. I could suggest so many improvements but, then we all could I guess. I've never dealt with the 9000
Does the coolsat 8100 have blind scan?
No so far in North America only the 9200 has blind scan, from what I read on many forums I see many complaints about 7/8 fec feeds on C-band with the 9200, this is of course if the dish is undersized or not aligned well.
I haven't yet purchased the S2 board for my pansat. There hasn't been enough S2 that I was interested in watching for me to do it. That is probably what you are talking about.
