What receiver to buy? Fortec, Panset, BB or Dreambox, etc?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Want a reliable FTA receiver and do not know what to get? I am not a dealer or affiliated with any manufacturer, so I have no ax to grind. This guide will pass along my observations as a FTA user and give you a good place to start your FTA education.
I have both a Pansat 2500a and a Fortec Ultra and here are the differences. They are both fine and proven receivers with blind search, which are made by the same company, Hyundai. They both can use the others software, but to do that you would need a econd remote to match the flash (add $20 USD). So, If you flash a the ultra with the Pansat, you will need to buy a Pansat remote. And vice versa for Pansat with Ultra flash (same cost for remote).
The Ultra is currently selling for $20-30 USD less than the Pansat. Both are reliable, easy to set up and have s-video and coax TV outputs. Both do not provide electronic program guides for Dish and have limited guides for Bev.The fortec and pansat both have digital audio out.
The Pansat is a bit more deluxe, has some extra features and a two-year warrantee as opposed to a one-year for the Ultra. But, I do not know if that matters, since once you flash either unit, the manufacturers say the warrantee is void.
The Pansat 2500A has a nicer (on screen cosmetics) and little friendlier interface (IMHO not a big deal). If you flash your Ultra to Pansat (I have), it becomes a Pansat in these respects. But a word of caution after the BB clone time bomb and chip fiasco killed so many BB’s, be careful of anti-clone flashes as Black List clams for clones using his Pansat flashes.
However the true Pansat has a motor controller and an optional (costs more) UHF Remote kit, so you can control the same receiver connected to several TVs through walls. You would get the same channel on each TV though. The motor controller enables you to
motorize and automatically position your dish antenna.With a properly set up system, you would be able to receive any TV or Radio channel automatically on any sat that is visable and receivable in your area on your equipment. That is as long as there are no obstructions, you use the correct LNB, and your dish is large enough.Performance and picture quality are about the same. Both provide an excellent picture to a quality TV The bottom line is:Buy the Pansat if the extra price does not matter and/or you want a proven unit that will allow you to motorize your dish.
Buy the Ultra if you want the best bang-for-the buck in a proven unit and/or do not need a unit that will allow you to motorize your dish.
So what about the PanTec clone that is about $30 USD cheaper than the Fortec Ultra and is said to be a cross between the Pansat and the Fortec? It is said to be able to use both Pansat and Fortec software and even comes with both remotes. It is smaller than either of the better-known units. The downsides are it has just come out, has no history and we do not know what the support will be like or even if it will be truly compatible with all future Pansat and Fortec lashes. Please note: Unlike the Pansat and Fortec units the PanTec is not factory flashed for anything-not even FTA. So it is not ready to do anything out of the box. You will first have to flash it to the PanTec
factory flash (FTA) and then to any other flash. If you flash the PanTec to anything else before you do the factory flash, it will have to be J-Taged or returned to the factory. Also the PanTec loader will
only work with Windows XP it will not work with Win98, Win95 and other OS's.
Buy PanTec ONLY if you are willing to take a chance on an unproven receiver, are prepared to do a more dificult and less-forgiving setup, you have Windows XP and you need the lowest cost. But for even $30-$50 more, I would recommend a Fortec or a Pansat. Since
some dealers are selling the Fortec for less than $10 USD more than they sell the PanTec, there the choice is a no brainer.
What if money is no object? The Dreambox is said to be great! Everything I have heard about it has been positive. Dreambox does provide electronic program guides (EPG) for Dish and Bev and has a built-in hard drive for recording and time-shifting. Its only downside is that since there is a very steep learning curve, I have been told that it may be too dificult for newbies.
The BlackBird is also in that price range but, after the clone-kill timebomb and chip upgrade fiascos, I would never buy a BlackBird. Besides even if BB works, many would argue that the Pansat and Fortec provide equal performance with better support. And you could buy two (almost three) Fortec Ultras for the price of a single BlackBird.
Another way to go is by using a PCI DVB card in your computer. Its major advantage is that it is easier and faster to recover from an ECM with thie card. Since it is open sourced, you can even fix it yourself, unlike a FTA receiver. The PCI DVB does provide electronic
program guides (EPG) for Dish and Bev and uses your computer's hard drive for recording and time-shifting.But the FTA receiver is much easier to set up than the PCI DVB card. Also the picture quality may not be quite as good with the PCI DVB card as it is with a FTA receiver -- depending on the program and the video card you use with the card.
If you want to buy a card, the Hauppauge Nexus-S (or a clone) is by far the best and easiest to set up and it includes a built-in processor and video outputs. But with a list price of $200 USD, it is also one of the most expensive. IMHO: I own one and it is well worth the premium, if you can afford it. Its TV output with a quality TV and My Theater is high quality. The picture will not be as good with the FREE program ProgDVB.Lots of people swear by the harder-to set up Twinhan card, which will only set you back less than half of the Nexus-S. But, unlike the Nexus-s, it requires a faster computer, installing codecs, and good video card with a TV output if you want to watch on your TV. But with a steet price of $70-$80 USD, many people find that it is the lowest priced reliable ticket to FTA.
This is not meant to teach you everything you need to know. However, it will provide a good foundation for your FTA education.
