cant speak for VS...but mini is absolutely top notch. very well built unit with great support!!. They've been on top of all recent ECMs and bins are constantly released with new features ..

What I hear is the PQ is much better than VS..So its definitely worth a look..

again can't speak for VS..

Mini has ARM946 RISC processor, 32MB RAM
and its super fast...scanning 4 sats takes about 10mins!! (gives about 100+tv channels)...scrolling through EPG is a breeze..gets 7 days epg in no time

If U mean the Dishnet keys, they are in the "New keys" thread/topic...and thats wouldn't be the solution to the problem U describe....they are either good or not ...and affects ALL channels..Not just PPv's..U have other issues that could be 1 of 25 things...U need to read and narrow down your problem...suggest U go to www.totalfta.com ...official Dss site for viewsats..
