HI all,

I'm new to this business and I want to buy a receiver, Ive been looking around and the eMTech eM300 sounded like the latest and the greatest and it has alot of features, do you think its a good receiver and if not, what would you recommend to a new kid on the block??

Regards

I have contacted the people in eMtec and they have confirmed that the new eMtec320PVR is available to Australia soon. It support fire wire and twin tuner capability. It's a little overkill for FTA but if you have a lot of the folded stuff, why not.

What your best bet would be , is to find people in your area with a
satellite hobby,,, Look for dishes, not Rice cookers, and if you make yourself known to the people in the right way,, they will tell you what there using, and possably show you there systems, demonstrating
there Receivers..
Its very easy to say A XXXX receiver is the best or a ZZZ is crap.
It depends on what your looking for, want you want to do with it, and what your experance is... The worlds best Receiver, is bloody useless
if you don,t know how it works or what its capable off

the 300 is a good model, easy to use and good value for bucks. I've had 1 for over 18months and it hasn't missed a beat. I leave it on 24x7.

I couldn't be more happier.

Emtech 300 is great for Cband. Had mine for over a yr and its been working great!.

star trooper · 06-09-2003, 12:32 PM

How do you compare the sensitivity of the eMtec 300 to the hummy?

**Yalickit** · 07-09-2003, 10:32 AM

Gets all sats here trooper. New software(old now) can do measat2.

star trooper · 08-09-2003, 02:25 AM

Gee, that's impressive, hear that bassett! Measat 2 look like a stealth satellite from STAR TREK movie. Is the signal quality high Yalikit?

schippy75 · 08-09-2003, 02:38 AM

I have the latest version of firmware for the emtech and can't get measat 2, my nokia can but.

bassett · 08-09-2003, 02:58 AM

**Yalickit** · 08-09-2003, 03:10 AM

Currently the eM300 by this sites sponsers is one of the best
prices I have found and it has a sensitive tuner.

These boxes are pretty well thought of as they are re-badged by many companies.

The USB on them is real handy and ur puter finds the HD no probs.

The eMtec320PVR should really be good. If u are prepared to spend a few bucks it is better to get one of these new gen boxes with twin tuners.

hey schippy75
Like bassett - I also wanna know how u got the nokie going on Measat2.

So far I can get a UEC, DVB-s, and an old Phoenix333 to pick it up but me old Nokie MM wouldn't do if for me.

tsd
