Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1724 Registered: Oct-06 | The VIEWSAT VSPRO is the newest and most powerful Free To Air Receiver from Viewsat! This PVR ready receiver was initially designed to be a dual tuner PVR so the GUI was created with PVR functionality in mind. In order to make this unit more affordable, it was redesigned to have a single tuner with the option of adding an external Hard Drive through one of the two USB ports. The VSPRO uses a blazing 260MHz ST Processor, 32 Mb SDRAM, and has 2 USB ports (one in the front and one in the rear).
