I have been looking into getting another FTA reciever as i have put my coolsat 6k in the closet.

I looking into SonicView and Nfusion. I am a little 'iffy' with Nfusion, since they get their keys from the internet; wouldn't it be easy to track folks who are using those keys for DN and B3V? Also, how good is the wireless range, becuase my wireless router is on the upper level of my home and i would be placing the receiver on the lower level.

I have been reading a lot of good things with SonicView.

I dont want to go with a viewsat bc i already own one.

Just make sure you don't buy another Coolsat. They obviously dropped support of 400/500/6000 in favor of their "newer" receivers (even though the 5K and 6K can easily support the current fix).

Viewsat = Sonicview.

Viewsat = Sonicview.


so what's the difference then?

i want to test different recievers, that is why i didn't get 2 coolsats. Lucky i am a curious person.

I even said yesterday that NORW isn't supporting the discontinued coolsat models.

As soon VS or SV starts doing the same as Coolsat, they will lose a huge chunk of their sale.
