Hi! Good afternoon.
I wonder if anyone can tell me if what was told to me it's true. I went to a sat store, in Portugal, to buy some gear to start in this hobby. I asked for an advice and, beside a dish of 85cm, an Humax Lnb with 0,4db, he recommended an Humax VA-Fox digital receiver with cam incorporated. And here's my doubt, he told me that he recommends the Humax because the manufacturer offers support, something that most of the manufacturers don't. He said that, almost every day, he has people coming in to the store looking for means to save their receiver, and in most cases it's hopless. He told me that the receivers can be blocked, via sat, and the Humax can take the hit, and be put back to work with manufacturer support.
If it's true, how do i now wich manufacturer is good and wich is bad?
What is better, an receiver with cam integrated and rs-232 interface, or a receiver with CI, a CAM and CAM programmer?
Thanks.
