what a piece of junk this viewsat is .. took me 4 hours to get a complete channel download. i kept missing channels finally got them all i think ... the remote is a peice of garbage... the sat button is way at the bottom and is built small (built for a woman with long nails) i know once the kids have watched the ppv. i will be hooking up the 6000 . i now have a pansat 2700 a 3500 a cool sat 5000 and 6000 i would take the 2700 over the viewsat any day of the week .... bin may be good but the design sucks big ones
