The viewsat has an USB port for use with a flash drive for easier programing from the PC.

Not sure how big a deal VOD is to other folks but VOD does not interest me at all. To me, it's very convenient. I stopped going to the video store altogether. No crowds, no driving, no titles out of stock, no ate fees. I can watch most movies for $1.99, which I think is a good deal.
This is the future. Even Netflix is going to get rid of its DVD mail service and go with a box that has all the movie titles stored on a hard drive or through broadband internet.

I found that the old legacy lnb’s with a sw 21 works best for two birds, but, if you are real innovative, you can switch between dishes for different receivers and different sats.

Comcast still sucks compared to Satellite. If only the almighty FCC, the Grand Arbiter of who can and cannot receive locals, would let me at least receive some sort of network feed for the big 4 over satellite, I’d no longer be a cable prisoner. Follow the money....

Does that sound easy to you? Convenient? Enticing? Er...no. But then, it doesn't exactly sound like rocket surgery either.

Hooked mine up months ago on Beta, just poppoed a wireless router on the back and it can right up. Cool thing is I also networked with a server to load up my music and videoes stored on the computer. I can now connect to my server from the receiver and play all of my music through my 3-2-1 system. Cool stuff.
