I use to recommend it, the extremeview...but the support has been very "shaky" and the bugs really haven't all been worked out as quickly as they were promised..if money is a VERY big issue , then get a CW premium or a Coo*lsat 5000
1st...stay away from ebay...there are too many fake/clone receivers out there and shaky sellers, especially on ebay!
I recommend u buy from a reputable dealer like [link removed] ...then u have recourse if u have problems, plus they are VERY well respected..and support many Dss satellite site forums..
As far as receivers I recommend one that has USB capabilities with a USB flash drive...then U have no hassles with cables and moving receivers whenever u need to upload files...and U have NO communication problems bewteen the receiver and most USB only computers now...
I recommend a Sonicview 4000 for $159...its well worth it and the extra few bucks over the $100 U mentioned..or the Viewsat Ultra ...and both are USB ready with great features and software support!...and all their info and manuals and help forums are available at www.totalfta.com
