I like the Satwork ST3618 and ST3688, both have the blind search feature that every one wants these days, and the 3688 can motorize your dish when you also purchase a motor (DiSEqC 1.2). Their software can be upgraded online if/when new programs are released, they can be cloned, so all the info in one can be flashed over to another identical receiver. They are not the Rolls Royce of FTA Ku band receivers but for value they can not be beaten, they are easy to use and understand with great results for the hobbyist. Check the link to DMSI on my web site for all the specs on the above receivers, I also recommend a universal KU LNB and a 95cm dish for (FTA) ku band channels as you will kick yourself you never got one very soon after installing a 30"/75cm dish, I know I did
