Hello to Forum Members
New to the forum and new to the world of FTA. But now that I have found it, want to make the best out of it.
I need expert advice on how to move up to HD receivers.
Thanks,
Luis R.

Re: Hello to Forum Members
Glad you joined us. The HD STB' are real nice. They are a little higher in price, but offer greater picture. You can use a normal dish with the HD units, no special dishes are needed. If you want to watch BEV, no external module will be needed. If you plan on watching charlie, you will need the add on 8PSK module...
