ABA DSS - Free to Air Satellite TV Community - View Single Post - Very new, Help With Choices but have a few requisites

ripping · March 3rd, 2009

Hi, I just have a plasma tv with no receiver/no dish nothing...Im very new.
I was looking at this setup:
Onesat Canada - Lowest Prices on Free To Air (FTA) Satellite Dishes, Receivers and Accessories, Nfusion FTA Satellite Receiver Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Nfusion Nuvenio HD Free To Air Satellite Receiver Toronto, Ontario, Canada <meta name="verify-v1"

But then I seen like 4 other models that I liked(captive,viewsat, etc)
Is the package I listed overpriced and does it have EVERYTHING I need or will I be having to order additional stuff off the internet to get this project goin?

All I want to do is watch UFC in HD, get HDNET, and maybe a few HD movie channels and I would be happy. Recording capabilities would be nice too. Would I be able to EASILY set all that up with the sv8000HD or should I get something else?

Last, and most newish question... I've heard that alot of these receivers can only be used for like a year then they stop working and u have to buy a new one...Any truth to this? I thought you could just keep upgrading the software and it will work.
