Viewsat & Sonicview are Great support and Nice Receiver feature and easy to use.. DTV is not available in FTA.

Re: Help Deciding on FTA Receivers Newbie
You can watch Dish (charlie) channels only. The Dish 500 for Dish net works real good. The DTV tripple LNB from direct is very hard to set up. Single LNB's will work from DTV on Charlie. I am big on Sonicview receivers. I like most all the SV's. The 4000, 360 Premier, 360 Elite and the SV-8000 HD. There support is at the very top. When you decide your make, let us know, we will be glad to help you get set up...

Re: Help Deciding on FTA Receivers Newbie
I personally like neosat, I would look into a receiver that has iks capabilities, seems to be the way of the future with fta. SV360 premier/elite would be a good choice!
