I am just looking around the website looking for a good system that would enable me to watch satellite TV with no monthly charges . What system would give me this ? Your M-1 and M-2 systems look good . Would they give me what I am looking for ? Thank you , Carl :mozilla_smile:

if you expect to get free dishnetwork/directv , then look elsewhere because it is not what FTA is.

M1 and M2 are the same except for the receivers. One is classic one is Ultra. I have used Ultra but not classic so i don't know which is better.

Look at the channel list here: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Channels/C...tellite-TV.htm

If these are the type of channels you are interested in, then you can't go wrong with either M-1 or M-2.

The CLASSIC receiver is the newer one and is my favorite. It has a fast power scan (user controlled) and more memory allowing faster channel changing.

Carl,

Most guys on this forum know the Ultra receiver so it will be easer to get any help if you decide to go with Ultra.

yea i think that the classic receiver only has one level meter making it difficult to point the signal.. unlike the other fortecs/pansats that have signal and quality which is better imo.

I like the two meters bars, but for new starters the one meter solution is better in my openion.

A lot of people confuse signal with quality. We get some calls from people trying to aim their dish. They look at the signal meter and pay no attention to the quality meter. They say I am getting the best signal, but no picture.

With one meter solution, there is no confusion. Either you get the correct satellite or you don't.

my 2 cents :mozilla_laughing:
