What is the best satellite system?
|
New member Username: ChantyPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-07 | I am a total newbie to programming these things, although I have had a system for years. I am using a Vortex and a dss right now, although having problems with the dss. I am just wondering if there is a good system that is more dependable than these. I know they all are subject to downs, but can anyone recommend a new system that is good? I haven't a clue of what to buy if I wanted to get another one! Thanks |

New member Username: ChantyPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-07 | Oh thanks for answering so fast! I'm not in Canada and I really don't know where to go to buy the cw600p. Could you steer me to a site that sells them online? And also on the cw....when I get it do you get the support on this forum like you seem to do for the keys and all that? I admit I'm not blonde, but I do have my blonde moments and I want to be sure I can manage the technical stuff to get this going! |

Silver Member Username: BrucesterPost Number: 528 Registered: Jul-06 | i do not think so this box needs one bin to load and cost much less why spend money on viewsat when cw600p is better for less some of my buddys have viewsat and bug me for help the ones i got to buy cw i do not her from them so i think cw is easier to use |

Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 11207 Registered: Jan-06 | Since most computers now are ONLY USB, I recommend a Sonicview 4000 ($159) or a Viewsat Ultra...no cables or need to disconnect receiver and bring it to the computer.. |

Bronze Member Username: YumyumPost Number: 14 Registered: Aug-07 | Wow you guys make it very easy to see who pushes what out there! LOL, for my opinion I would go with Bruce and the CW, I have a Magnum. And did have an SV and a VS, yah sure the pic quality is a little better on these models and they have USB, but for bang for your buck, ease of use and support, the CW600P takes the cake everytime! The CW800 PVR model when it comes out will be the box to watch! |

Silver Member Username: BrucesterPost Number: 529 Registered: Jul-06 | you can get the 100r to go with the cw for about 170 CAN with this you can load the bin with usb stick and have pvr for the same money |

Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 11209 Registered: Jan-06 | what good is a FTA receiver (CW or any) if U can't connect it to a computer?....U cannot always be guaranted that U can find a compatable USB adapter for your puter and CW...and who wants to disconnect cables and move the receiver every time u want to upload a file...I sure as hell don't...especially to save just a 1 time initial $50...I'll gladly pay the extra $50 to have USB and a WORKING receiver that I can simply upgrade! |

New member Username: ChantyPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-07 | Well, I am not so keen on having to hook the receiver to the computer everytime I need to upload either. (And why do you need to upload? Told you I was a newbie!) I went to the globalwholesalers site and found the ViewSat for $174, on sale, and free shipping. I don't see that this would be a bad deal at all. Esp when the person who does this kind of work around here is charging $250. What I'm wondering is if with the Viewsat you can just enter the numbers like you do with the Vortex? I do have the Vortex working, but I'm not happy with the guide at all. I have a Dish 311 and it works maybe a few minutes at a time when you turn it on. I love the guide it has. I wonder how the ViewSat compares with the Dish? Maybe I'm just too picky! LOL At least my Vortex is still workable! but I'm thinking of the future....and what if, you know? |

New member Username: ChantyPost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-07 | Well, probably my best bet is if I'm gonna get the box to have someone put the files in it. Or just go ahead and pay the $250 already done, then. What kind of files do you have to put in it and how do you put them in? Do you need to have it hooked to a computer? |

Silver Member Username: Impala1977Post Number: 151 Registered: Apr-06 | Wholesalers is a reputable site although it took them over a week to send me the sv 8000hd and I am still waiting for hmdi cable, sat tuner, flash card, and inline amp that comes with the package. If you try calling you can't leave a message because it is full. I finally got a hold of someone who said the rest of my order was on its way but I'm still waiting (three and a half weeks now). I just hate that the box has dropped 50 bucks and I still dont have everything. I had to break down and bought a flash card so I could watch tv. |
