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. Was this review helpful to you?

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!
