Saturday, December 26, 2009 - 15:23 GMT Aldo use any receiver for Galaxy 19. Since most of the channels are heavily compressed, the quality of the feeds is poor, pixelization is high in summary you get about 250 channels with fair to poor images. You could even try to find find a used FTA receiver and that would do the job.

Saturday, December 26, 2009 - 15:46 GMT You can buy used FTA receivers for a low price because of N3. Go to a CNX dealer who is taking in other receivers in part exchange and he might sell you one for $40/50

Saturday, December 26, 2009 - 23:53 GMT Aldo I suggest a Viewsat Ultra because the lite does not have the blind scan, that's why the price is low. Vs Ultra is one of best true free to air receiver.

Sunday, December 27, 2009 - 03:36 GMT No if you use only galaxie 25, you can add the transponder manualy the scan this one, blind scan is very good to found new Tp not listed at Lyngsat or other site. 69.99 is cheap for the Ultra Lite, this receiver is very good.
