viewsat, captive works, and sonicview are the most popular and have about the best support. check out the receiver review section for more info.

Re: what recevier to buy

I started out with a Pansat 3500, and my second box was a Viewsat Ultra. Those are the only two I have experience with, but the Viewsat is hands down much more user friendly, and support has been great.

Good luck on your purchase, and enjoy!
