Product Features and Highlights

The Viewsat VS Pro FTA receiver provides digital free to air satellite reception for the USA, Canadian, and Caribbean markets.

The Viewsat VS Pro is the newest and most powerful free to air receiver that Viewsat has ever released.  This PVR ready receiver will allow you to connect an external USB hard drive and then you can record.  We have the hard drives in stock and you can select the size based on your recording requirments. This FTA receiver was initially designed to be a dual tuner PVR so the on-screen menus were created for true PVR functionality. In order to make this unit more affordable, Viewsat redesigned it to have a single tuner with the option of adding an external hard drive through either of two USB ports. The Viewsat VS Pro uses the fastest processor ever in the FTA market, a blazing 260MHz.  With 64 MB DDR RAM, a beautiful new GUI, 2 USB ports (front and rear), this FTA receiver will sure to be Viewsats new best seller.  If you love or have heard about the Viewsat Ultra, this is the step up model.

The Viewsat Pro is a very high quality receiver completely designed, engineered, and manufactured in Korea.

Interesting Facts You Should Know About

What is the purpose of the 1GB USB memory stick?
Since the Viewsat Pro has 2 USB ports on it, we recommend adding a 1GB memory stick to make the firmware and channel list upgrades much easier.  We have received feedback from owners of older models that do not have USB that it can be frustrating having to disconnect the receiver from the entertainment center and TV and then bring the receiver to the computer room for an upgrade.  Now you save the newest Viewsat Pro manufactures bin file onto the memory stick and then plug it into the receiver.  It's a simple process in the onscreen menu to upgrade from USB memory stick.  Now you can leave your receiver connected to your TV fulltime.

What size of hard drive should I get?
The Viewsat PVR 7000 is hard drive ready when you purchase it as each customer has a specific recording needs.  Below are the most popular hard drive sizes with an approximate amount of recording you can expect. It's always wise to get a hard drive one size larger than you are considering so you can save some favourite shows and movies to playback later when nothing is on.

Hard Drive Size / Recording Time
250GB HD = (170 hours of recording)
320GB HD = (200 hours of recording)
500GB HD = (250 hours of recording)
750GB HD = (470 hours of recording)

Viewsat is the KING!!! May 5, 2008
Reviewer: VS Pro User from United States  
This receiver is absolutely great. With a 260 Mhz processor and 32 MB SDRAM, there are practically no freezing issues. The USB Flashing process is very convenient as opposed to the original serial port cables. GOsatellite offered great support. I received my Viewsat in two days. Thanks for the remarkable product and support.

Fast receiver, always a Viewsat fan! February 17, 2008
Reviewer: Brian from Miami, FL  
I thought I would write a quick review on how satisfied I am with my new Viewsat Pro.  I owned a Viewsat Platinum that I bought a few years ago here and got some really good use out of it, but I wanted a model that was USB upgradeable and I wanted to a model that recorded.  I can't afford an HD unit yet, so thought about this box.  I can tell you whole heartedly that it was a great decision.  This unit is very fast at changing channels, the on-screen menus and the tv guide are great (much better then the platinum that I have laid to rest, LOL)  I added a 320GB external hard drive with it and now I can record.  All functions well and the best part is the online support for the Viewsat brand, I will always be a Viewsat customer!
