It lists virtually every satellite around the world with all the channels each one receives. It also tells you what size dish you need to receive programming from that satellite. It also tells you what transponder each channel is on plus all the frequencies, which is a great tool for programming your receiver for better channel scanning.

Here is a user's review.
Receiver
Has front door for USB and optional card reader, the front has the usual button, channel up and down, volume up and down, Menu, and OK button. The rear comes equipped with RCA, Component, S Video, or HDMI, SPDIF, RS232C, and built in fan for cooling
Set up
I proceeded to connect HDMI, Coaxial, and Power Source and then turned the power on to navigate through the menu screens. Another cool thing with HDMI is you could also hook your RCA Cables to the receiver and connect to a VCR if you need to record something on it if need be. Check the dish setting to see and quickly noticed the quality registers higher than the strength and that the quality also fluctuates between 91% to 100%. I then Closed out and was ready to Flash.
Programming and Saving
I now decided to save the factory Bin and the latest release to my computer and transfer from there to my USB stick to upload to the receiver. 1st step was top load the Factory Rom V 101, took about 1 ½ minutes to load then ask to reboot, now ready to load the latest release, and then once loaded ask to reboot again. I now set all my Antenna settings and saved. I then set all my user settings and saved, another cool little feature in there is the front LED brightness can be adjusted. Then I set my time setting. Then I set my local settings and also set all my user options and saved. I was now ready to scan, I decided to do an individual scan to make sure I got an exact count of each Sat channels. Once I did an individual scan of all 4 Sats all was good , so I then decided to go back and try the multiple scan feature which is in the same place but when going to your Sats you hit the Blue button on your remote to save the Sat as your favorite, once I saved all 4 Sats I then press the Yellow button to scan all. Once all was done I then decided to tune to DN channel and waited for it to roll, DN took exactly 2 minutes to roll, then went to BEV Channel, and remember BEV is renumber by 2000 and that took about 4 minutes to roll, then I proceeded and checked to make sure all channels scanned in fine. Now once viewing I adjusted the picture and made sure it was set to 16:9 and turned the display mode to Full screen. Picture quality is pretty impressive. Then proceeded to check my locals, they worked but local number renumbering did not, so I will have to look into that more.
Remote
Remote is pretty slick, not small in size but range is good, and has a TV, VCR, DVD, and STB button. And multiple feature buttons. Menu and exit buttons are in the right place, would prefer the numbers to be on top but this will do. Also has a sleeper time button. Red button alone enables the time feature, Green button brings up the Category menu, Yellow button brings up the AV settings, and the blue button is for USB if connected. Also has a radio and Sat button which does work. Zoom button, and a search button.
My next testing will be the PVR function and I will report that later on as that will take a little more time to test. For now that is it and I must say this is my first SV product and I am pleasantly impressed. I will also post some pictures for you all to see.
OK today decided to play a little with the PVR and use the USB stick to start all was good, so far no issues, I then decided to try to use my WD USB not powered 80 Gig drive and kept saying USB not found, tried formatting and the same message, Will do more testing as the day goes on, and in case I will be asked it is formatted in Fat32. Below are some screenshots of the unit.

Free TV in the Caribbean! St. Maarten receives its first FTA receiver. |
In St. Maarten, (pictured above) in the West Indies, a satellite pc card was installed with a 6 foot dish that brought in satellites, 110, 119, and 61.5., basically all of Dishnet, where it is legal to do. This was done without a satellite receiver or access card! Althought the 6 foot dish is overkill, even in Caribbean standards, it was handy, so we used it, but a 4 foot dish would have worked just as well. In the United States an 18 inch dish is all that is needed for legal free to air TV.
If you are in St. Maarten and need a system set up call Leroy or visit him at his showroom. He can be reached at 011-599-554-0248 or 011-599-522-0248. In St. Maarten, the list above, are but some of the channels we brought in - Plus, Plus...all the ppv movies and sports events! The list is not complete as all the HBO channels came in plus about 70 local channels which brought in seveal PBS's as well as several Warner Brother's channels. Also many more of the movie channels came in such as IFC, Starz and Encore, but the list gives you a genereal idea...
So how can I get this? Well it starts with a free to air receiver. This is a legitimate recevier that will get only authorized, free to the public access channels. Usualy these are news channels and public service channels. Below is a list of the channels available on just a few of the satellites. If you are living in an authorized area you may apply software to open up the rest of the channels as was done in St. Maarten. Once you have the this system, you can, on your own modify it. I cannot do that for you as it may be illegal depending on where you live. You will have to add the files yourself but it is a very simple procedure.
