reccomendations for a new receiver ..?
after enjoying the old pansat 2500a for a while now ( i only paid $6 at the thrift store ! )...i would like to get something modern reliable, easy to use , simple to load bins to...and dirt cheap !
due to the possible chance these receivers will be not useable when nag 3 is here...i do not want to spend much till after that settles down.
so cheap, standard def box ....even pvr option might be nice....appreciate any answers and help.........

Re: reccomendations for a new receiver ..?
If cheap is the prime objective, see if you can snag a used CW700 or a SV4000 unit.
Both are really good.
What is your budget?

You can pickup deals left and right on fleabay. Used receivers have been known to go for under $100. Not sure you'll find another $6 stb

Re: reccomendations for a new receiver ..?
What a deal on the 2500. The SV-360 Premier and Elite are great receivers. Sonicview had been showing it strength lately. Viewsat Ultra Lite is also a great receiver. Then there is the Nfusion Solaris and SD. All of these have a price between $100 - $170. Good Luck, let us know what you end up with.

i think you mean ultra lite has usb programming not VS lite.
SV 360 elite is the best pvr out there and i'm a VS fan so there ya go. a bit more than 6 bucks. might get one for 160. the VS ultra lite is a great little stb. i have one and its great. dont make the mistake as i did and buy a cnx mini or nano for a pvr. they are great receivers and i love 'em but they are useless as a pvr.

Re: reccomendations for a new receiver ..?

i like my CW700 the EPG sucks but other than that it's great... paid like 100 but you can find it cheaper.... Just whatever/whereever you buy it from get an authorized dealer. cw650 are pretty cheap with good support
