    Hello there,
    I need all of your helps. I'm looking for FTA receivers and there are many of them out there. Can anyone please tell me what FTA receiver is the best.
    Oh by the way, I want it for FTA Channels.

    I would probably recommend buying a MercuryII from Sadoun. It has blind scan & AC3 pass through. It is fairly easy to setup. Once you have it installed and use it for awhile you will learn about the receivers and different features. At that point you can make a decision as to what receiver you desire to buy. It really is based all on what features you desire coupled with your working knowledge.

    Just a quick question. Why does Sadoun only sell Fortec receivers?

    Why not other brands like Captiveworks, Coolsat, Magnum, Viewsat, etc?
    Fortec 80cm dish, Univ LNB.
    Fortec Classic NA
    Captiveworks 600S Premium.
    C-band 10ft dish, with Echostar 4000 IRD.

    Maybe the same reasons some dealerships sell Fords and others Chevys? I imagine it would also be much easier to try to stock/service only one line...
