Whats up folks. I just recently saw a viewsat box at my uncle's house and was blown away by the number of channels and what all he had access to. So here I am in the market to get a FTA receiver. I was just wondering what kind would suit me? I am looking for sports, movies, HD, and some form of PVR. I was looking to pick up a viewsat 9000 and give it a shot.

I really only have 3 questions about the 9000 to ask being that it will be my 1st FTA.

1. What all will I need to buy being that I don't have a dish?

2. Is it really that easy to set up? I am very good with computers, electronics, and have done many things along the lines of unlocking phones before.

3. Is it hard find a satellite?

Other than that if you have any advise into getting more channels or info about this hardware or maybe why I should buy another. Let me know. I am looking to get one that can do just about anything, and I don't care about it being user friendly. The more it can do, the better.
