First off we need to know what one you have their are several. Looks to me at this point you could record with it but, its not going to control your FTA receiver. So you wouls have to have the reveiver on the right channel and then record the program. Their are tivo frendly FTA box's LK is knowledgeable on these set ups. |

He comes here at Christmas from Greece to buy cheaper here. My system is the test lab for his buys. I have cable. We just tested as a cable tv connection to the internet. This SB has IR connections that can be connected to the FTA to control it (setup is a butt pain!!!!!!). Pantec Ultra MX |
