1st post:
I would go with the Visionsat. I am a DVR junkie. I have never had a FTA and would like to have a new something to use all my time.
Thanks

Ok, I have never dabbled in FTA but what a chance to get started! It has been really interesting reading posts from those who own or have owned one or the other system-- they both sound like really good receivers, so it is a tough choice but I would pick the Visionsat since I have never played around with a PVR and would want to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks again SatelliteAV and Satellite Guys!
If I were to win, I would definitely say the Visionsat IV-200 due to PVR capabilities and above all 2 remotes!!! Even though both remotes have slightly different functions, this will be the best , one for me and one for the wife!!!!
I would certainly pick the Visionsat IV-200 satellite receiver if I won the contest. The PVR capabilities make it gem. The review in the forum only makes me want one no matter if I win the contest or not.
A big thank you to SatelliteAV for their support of this forum and providing this prise to a lucky winner. (hopefully myself)
Of the two I think I would want the Merc because of its reputation as a rock-solid stable blind scanner. I have a good recorder for what little I save
to my collection anyway.
