Free to Air receivers

[Dan_Man]

I'm thinking of getting a free to air receiver but I'm not sure which one to get.

I'd like to buy one with a similar program guide to the one found on a Bell ExpresVu 3100.

I heard some FTA's have horrible program guides. Suggestions please :)

its not some its all, the program guides on FTA's arent the best, if you want one that looks like a 3100, then get a 3100, only solution

[Dan_Man]

Is there one that's better than others? :P

[jiggypat23]

there all pretty much the same for the on screen guide, check out the viewsats, coolsats and the fortecs

I have a coolsat 6000 Premium, and the guide is awesome, its the closest thing to the 3100 guide, I have seen viewsat and the Panasat, but the coolsat is best, come on over to take a look for yourself if you don't believe me.

The new Viewsat Guides are awesome as well. The viewsat Ultra is awesome easy to load with the usb stick, that way you don't have to hook it up to your computer when it goes down

Thanks NoseToTheGrind, another question...i already have 3 bell receivers is there anyway i can do the same thing with one of these?

[NoseToTheGrind]

There is, but its to find somebody that knows how to do it, and then paying to have it done all the time, i found the FTA set-up the simplest route to take.

Also Pm'd you mrvegaman with info on local distributor.
