[Mark Holtz]

Anyone know of any DVR-type satellite receivers?

Anyone know of any DVR-type satellite receivers?
They seem to be common in the rest of the world but we have no program guide in America so I guess an FTA DVR would be less useful here. Im sure you could order one from overseas if you really wanted one.
I think I saw one adverised that could record 5 different shows at the same time while you watched a 6th channel from a max of two different transponders.

Mike over at global-cm.net did have these for sale, he is the only dealer I have seen with this but I have not looked at them in awhile either.

I think if someone gets to the point that they are recording 6 shows at once they might need to go outside, get some fresh air and maybe read a book. :)

I'd hate to see the pricetag on that one.

Mike does have the 700

That is probably a good unit since it looks just like my 330A that works so good.

Still no listed price.

Did you click that link? The Pansat 6000 HXC is displayed there.

Another tactic is to add a FTA card to a computer.

dreambox makes some nice fta dvr's, the 500 can be found for around $330cdn, uses a network fileshare for recording. no blind scan though :( I use my coolsat for that, read the channel list and upload it to my dreambox.

I would say just use a reglar fta reciever and just buy a regular dvr at your local electronic store with dvd burner. I am sure if you wana pay $300 for a dvd recorder and a dvr thats totally separate from fta. Can be used for alot of different things. This is just a suggestion or an alternative.

And this is the cheapest tactic, provided you have a computer already:) :
Starbox sells for $70 - 80 . I try to record with it and ProgDVB - works fine, but USB2 is recommended.
