Re: newbie knows nothing
Both of those receivers are good choices.
Either a SV360 Elite or the Viewsat Ultra (a good solid workhorse) are great options.

Re: newbie knows nothing
Those are some of the best receivers out there. I would start off in the newbie section. There is alot to learn, it kind of becomes a hobby. When you get a receiver let us know we will lend you a hand. Good Luck

Hi Steve, welcome to ABA! It looks like you've received some good advice already about the choice of a receiver. If HD is not important there are some very good ones to pick from at a reasonable price. Good luck and enjoy your stay.

Re: newbie knows nothing
hello, welcome to abadss, the best fta site on the net!!
this is much more than just a place to get files. it is a community with dedicated members,
forums for just about anything, social groups, your own profile page, access to a weekly poker game,
and too much more to list.
make ABADSS your first stop for everything fta and you will be rewarded with much more.
reading is the best way to learn, use the search option to find posts related to your specific problem.
if you still need help post a question in the proper forum.
helpful hints:
* read and understand the site rules to guide you through our many forums.
* hard reboot with the switch on back of your receiver solves many minor issues.
* before you unplug your receiver, or disconnect any connection including the
switch or lnb ALWAYS REMEMBER to turn the receiver off using the switch on back of the receiver.
you could burn up your switch or mess up your settings if you dont.
* post your type of receiver, your antenna settings, and explain your problem well to receive the best help.
* you need to upgrade your membership to access the files section on this site. this can be done by
clicking upgrade membership at the top of the page. it is free to join the site, ask questions and receive help.
you can upgrade at any time.
* hijacking threads is confusing and not wanted here at abadss. see the site rules to understand
better about hijacking threads. to avoid this start your own thread in the proper forum
if you have any questions.
* this is an informative and friendly site devoted to the fta hobby. the members
and moderators will be glad to help in any way they can.
enjoy the forums and come back often!
