Pansat 2700a or 250 sm - ABA DSS

**BUCKBITS** · April 3rd, 2008

I am thinking of getting a new STB and I cant decide between the 2700a or the 250 sm. Any suggestions?

i have both of these.
first off.the pansat 2700/3500 is extremely dated.im shocked they are still in production.
very very basic and out dated hardware.
the 250sm is a whole different league.sadly however it severely lacks the software its capable of.
are you "stuck" on the pansat name? or would you consider something else?

what have you been running in the past? a pansat 2500?

I test the 2700a and coolsat 5000. I have alway used pansat and had good luck. I like the USB on the 250, I dont care for the support on the coolsat. and I have considered the cw's. Like you said the 2700 is a dinasour, but when it works it works.

If you like Pansat then you can go with the 250SM.It's easy to use and you can download your file in less than 15 seconds via USB.

I have one and I love it but not much as my CW800.

It's up to you buddy.
