Best Support

Hey guys I'm in the market for a new STB but I want to know who got the best support out there. I'm still undecided if I'll get the VS Ultra or SV-4000. I'm happy w/ my Pansat 3500SD, I just want to try other brand.
Thanks!

Re: Best Support

to make things even more challenging for you to decide, why not include the CW700 along side the SV and VS.

At least the CW is a little cheaper, same features as the VS and SV, and support is exceptional.
But you can't go wrong with either the VS or SV. Much better STBs then the Pansat.

Re: Best Support

oh boy.well i can assure you,any one of these are going to wake you up to whats on the market now.they will totally blow the panny 3500 out of the watter.

good basic runners with great support:

sv4k
vs ultra
cnx mini
cw 700
captain 7100

i like captain 7100.she's the one with the most juice. (twice the ram as the others)
superior pic quality as well.and surprisingly,one of the lower cost's.she also can run iks if you wanted with adapter sold separately.don't have to though,her file support has been mean enough lately.some really nice hardware and software both.captains gaining popularity,and its great to see.
i would rank it as literally 5 times (at least) the unit the 3500 is.iv no doubt in my mind,you would also if you decide to give her a spin.

have a look and see if you think she would be a nice step for ya buddy:
http://www.abadss.com/forum/582-rece...ks-review.html

menu and features guide:
http://www.abadss.com/forum/851-capt...tml#post165713


she also has one button setup.(OBS)
take a look here to see how easy it is.you answer a few questions,she sets you up and scans for you in just a couple mins.
http://www.abadss.com/forum/851-capt...zard-pics.html

and the really cool news.only around 120-130$
5 year warranty.

Re: Best Support

Captive Works has exceptional support. Get a 700 or a 800pvr, very affordable, lots of great features & both have a usb port. Plus it sounds like iks is in the works for these units also. You can't go wrong with captive works.
