VS Ultra or CW-800 PVR or Sonicview SV4000 or Coolsat 7000 PVR
I've read a lot of reviews and it seems like all four are very good receivers. They're also around the same price. The Captiveworks CW-800 and Coolsat 7000 have the advantage of being PVR-capabled while VS and Sonicview seem to have better reviews.
So which should I get? Just want to hear your opinions  Thanks. |

I saw a Conaxat Trio on ebay which has a divx player as well. Seems pretty nice, but I can't find any review for that model. How about Coolsat 7000's cheaper cousin Visionsat IV200?

Re: VS Ultra or CW-800 PVR or Sonicview SV4000 or Coolsat 7000 PVR
Support is great on all 4 models...
CW-800 is an inexpensive pvr and usb loading recevier
Ultra and Sv4000 are very simialr usb loading receivers
CS-7000 is another pvr with internal memory and some say faster than the cw-800
my picks for these would be-
vs-ultra (reason: i been using viewsat for a while...in my mind they are one of the best brands out there)
sv-4000 (samething as above only turn down is the ir sensor beign badly positioned in most models)
cw-800 (best pvr/ usb loading stb for the money)
cs-7000 (never used this, i have nothing good or bad to say about it which is why i place it last)
