Viewsat has one feature i love it will Identify the sat it is pointed at! makes installing alot easer
if your teck savy a little and not scared to learn a little the dreambox is a lot better receiver. It works all the time as far as receiving dn-bev programing. We have had dn and bev both not working 100% with viewsats and sonic views among others the last few weeks...the DREAMBOX has worked all the time.....takes a little more studying learn how to set it but once its installed it works...gets its update via a ethernet conected to your router from the nett you dont have to download bin files to to all the tme like with the viewsat-sv-pansats....worth looking into
