SonicView 360 HD

[gheagy]

I'm wondering if the SonicView 360 HD model will require any additional components to receive HD.

[sparkleboy]

yes it needs 8psk module. All HD receiver needs 8psk module to receiver HD channels.

so why do you need to buy the 8pk for the 360HD or the 8000 hd when they are HD already .so if you say you need it then the units are not HD then .

[tango]

You only need the 8psk module if you want to see HD on DIK. Nimiq 82W carries HD channels that will work with the unit shipped as is.

I was woundering the same question. So, this new unit will also require a mini fan to keep the unit cool?

No on the extra fan, the big heat problem source is the 8PSK module installed and SonicView has a 2nd generation 8PSK module option that solves the heat of 1st generation module. No HD is shipped with 8PSK as no HD FTA sats available, only DN and Bev, therefore propritary. Now if GC starts a few HD on its birds..........
