The Fortec Star 786 is on eof the best receiver I have used. Easy menus and locks in satellite signals instantaneously. Have a nice picture and sound. You can have a list for each satellite so you don't get confused.
A friend of mine has a TV with a scart coonecter(euro connecter) and connect his TV to Fortec and hace a very sharp picture. Unfortuntely, in the USA there are not a lot of TVs with Scart connection. .The scart provide a better picture than the s-video.
I played with a lot of receivers and I never saw anything simple, slim, affordable and solid receiver like the Fortec 786.
