Recievers other than Fortec Star

[sagirma]

Sadoun,

I was wondering is there a good reason why Sadoun Satellites doesnt carry other brand name recievers such as pansats or satcruisers?

[DruzeTito]

actually i have been wondering that too. Maybe they have agreement with fortec to exclusively sell Fortec. I dunno.

While not Sadoun I can think of a few reasons

Support
Utilize available resources to increase diversity in products instead of product lines.
Stability of company offering product.
Demand

Fortec receivers are good quality and have all the features that an FTA user needs.

We used to sell Satcruiser before (more than 3 years ago). While they are good receivers, they lacked the user friendly menu that the Fortec has. Also, they lacked USALS or a decent DiSEqC 1.2 control. The menu was a nightmare if you wanted to setup a motorized system.

Other brand receivers we sell

Dish Network
DirecTV
Globecast
Twinhan

with addition of the mercury series seems like,to me fortec is way ahead of the game.

[Sadoun]

Yes, that is right.

We will have the following Fortec receivers:

1. Classic
2. Platinum
3. FSIR-5400
4. FSNAG-5900
5. Mercury
6. Mercury II
7. Jupiter

Well I have worked with a zinwell, Samsung, Digipro (aka Digiwave now I think) and I have had the Fortec calssic NA for about 3 moths, its very easy to use and program so very happy with it for the price paid. looking ot get another box, Just cant decide on what to get next, so many choices out there. Or just stick with what works is usually my logic.
