I am a huge fan of the Viewsat platiumn it can be won on ebay "buy it now" for $130 shipped now.

The viewsat works about the same as a pansat with one BIG HUGE IMPORTANT feature not found in pansat's.

The Viewsat can ID The sat its antenna is pointed at making installing easer and everday use more enjoyable.

I always suggest users to try to get receiver, 31" dish, motor, and the QPH-031 lnb like I have here. That way you can receive all sat's. In times like now with most of DN and all of BEV not working I still have 100's and 100's of channels to watch.

For a complete system it is around $300 ebay prices if you get the plat light a great starter receiver.
