What receiver to buy!?!
Hello everyone, as you all may notice I am new here and in the FTA world. First of all I live in Puerto Rico and got a VS Extreme. I want to buy another receiver and I want it to get HD channels; any suggestions of which one I should consider or buy?

Re: What receiver to buy!?!
On the 5.5' dish I would pick it up for the other birds. I know it worked well in Carolina, I would figure that it would work everywhere on the Island just the same.

Re: What receiver to buy!?!
Since I want an HD receiver, Do I need another type of LNB?
and is there anywhere where I can get those 5.5'(feet) sat dishes?

Re: What receiver to buy!?!
Rafy, I buddied up with an installer that hooked me up. You can either do that or get 2 4' dishes and aim to the birds you want I also seen that down there a lot. Depends how many meters you have on you roof  |

Re: What receiver to buy!?!
I would personally get a CS8100 it's HD and a PVR. With that said GH has been around longer and would know better than me I'm a CS/ Viewsat fan myself.

Re: What receiver to buy!?!
You will love your Sonicview 8000 HD. Click on my signature below to buy everything at discount price and free shipping.
You don't need special LNB or anything, as long as you have good signal/quality and your receiver decodes mpeg4, you will get HD channels.
