I would consider altering 2 items or at least making them recommended upgrades. 1. 90cm dish & 2. The Platinum receiver. It is a Ci receiver and there is programming (Spanish) available on 30 for those who can see it.

the CI stands for cam interface meaning you can use a card to subscribe to certain programming.

I live in Florida and must say this system works very well for all channels in the spanish side I get more than expected not only the regular US spanish stations but some from Mexico and Spain at least.
I did up grade to the 90cm I think for the small difference overall is worth it. Sadoum provided great service , now when I go to my mom's house, I have to look and see if I can get a clear shot to the Hispat sat so I can get her a stationary system , the motorized is a liitle complicated for her.

they both are good receivers which one you buys depends on if you want to subscribe to the channels that offer a subscription. if you are not planning on subscribing i would go with the mercury.
