Which ViewSat for a newbie?
Hi guys,
I've read the reviews and was wondering which ViewSat unit I should go with for my first. My friends have the Extreme but I thought about getting the Ultra. Huge difference? I really like the USB port instead of hauling unit to the PC for each upgrade. An extreme Newbie here but I read a lot and have already picked up a lot from everyone's posts. Using a Dish Pro 500 on DN. A friend loaned me his Extreme to try out and I even downloaded Loader2 and the freeze fix which worked great, so I'm somewhat familiar with the Extreme and was hoping the Ultra isn't a huge difference.
Thanks,
-Lucky

Makes sense to me. The Extreme seemed easy to install and wanted to make sure the Ultra wasn't rocket science.
Thanks!
