New Bin?

[miamiheatfan]

I was just wondering if I should just wait for a new bin for the Coolsats or should I sell my 8100 and buy a SonicView 8000 HD? I don't know much about SonicView so somebody please help and inform me, please? Also, would I have to change anything (satellite dishes, cables settings,etc.) if I do buy a SonicView 8000? Let me know whose support is better as well.

fact is the sonicviews have been up since Jan 08 2009 without a glitch
fact is coolsats have went down alot since then and have waited days at a time for files
the sv8000hd is a great receiver with great support
same dish and cables will work
if you want hd then you will need the A-1 8psk board and a dish pointed at 129w

The dish and cables work the same for either receiver.

For support SonicView is the best of the last months. It has bene up more than 2 months

Thank you for all the quick replies! Just a few more questions. What satellites will I have to point at to get the channels for the SonicView 8000, including the HD channels? Also, about how many channels and HD channels are there on the SonicView? More than Coolsat, same, or less?

119/110/129

119>275-300
110>300-350
129>200-300
all depends on your location and what locals you can get

Thank you for all the help everybody! I think I am going to buy a SonicView 8000.

one thing i would do b4 getting one ,,is read about nag3,, it may be better if u wait and try to limp ur cs 8100 for a couple more months ,,,once nag3 kicks in,,both boxes will be down,,and for how long ? no one really knows for sure right now

[miamiheatfan]

Actually, just one last question? 129W, is that all HD channels or is it a mix of normal and HD channels?

[miamiheatfan]

What is NAg3 and how will it affect the satellite recievers?
