Does anybody own this Neusat SP 6000 receiver? If so, how do you like it and how well does it perform?

I tend to stay away from off brand name receivers, but this one has some good features.

Well for one thing , your link to Ebay Item, the Neusat Buy It Now Price is too high , if I remember correct one member picked it up for about half the price played with it and then late listed it in the classifieds.

Ok, thank you. I guess you get what you pay for.

here was some info a few months ago. There were a few of us who picked them up

I liked the Neusat. I paid, if I remember right about $60 with shipping. I only sold it because when I did a blind scan, it would rename any station that I had renamed. So I sold it. But it scanned fast, had a nice remote and great graphics. I would recommend it though. If you can get it for under $100.

Ok, now I looked at the thread above and love the graphics this receiver provides. Plus it has better video quality than the Coolsat. I may just need to pick one up if under $60 plus shipping just to play around with it. Another new toy.

You will be happy with it. On a side note, check out the $25 FTA receiver that is listed in the Gold Sponsor section. I think I will get one and try it out

full-featured receiver for low price

Yea, I read the other lengthy thread about this receiver last night.
It seems to be a generally full-featured unit, by any standards.
However, there don't seem to be any seriously good bargains on it (that I found).

Much better is the one iafirebuff listed above, from our sponsor SatelliteAV .
It, too is a full-featured unit, with blind scan, USALS, and even a card reader - for a quite reasonable $25 !

iafirebuff started a thread up above in the FTA Shack section.
Let's confine our discussion to there, and maybe it'll turn into a review as we get the units.

One thing I might add about the Neusat - the USB thumbdrive is about useless. I was hoping that I could back up the receiver with it. No luck. It is for updating firmware only. I never tried it, but some others tried some channel master type software and did not have luck with that either.

Has anyone tried the new Neusat 6000 Premium receiver? I believe it has component outputs.

 

[iafirebuff]

If I remember right, I *think* the SP 6000 (not the premium) has comp out. I can't remember for sure though.

Both the 6000 SP and Premium models have component outputs according to their website. Also, their new model (HD9000) is HDTV and supports MPEG-4 plus has an HDMI output.
