FTA Fever Free-To-Air (FTA) Satellite TV Receivers

Pansat 6000HXC Standard Definition USB 2.0 DUAL TUNER PVR FTA Satellite Receiver

Design & Features Review

The technologically advanced Pansat 6000HXC Dual Tuner PVR is one of the most popular Free-To-Air digital satellite receivers on the market. And it's a sleek-looking silver box, sporting a large LCD display, large buttons and scrolling thumbwheel, which you'll be really grateful for, if you ever replace your remote.

But the real beauty of the versatile Pansat 6000HXC lies in its dual tuner inputs, which can send two independent satellite feeds to two separate locations — nice touch, whether you're wanting a FTA satellite receiver for home or office use. It's like having two separate receivers rolled into one. Watch one program while recording another. Watch two separate programs simultaneously with 6000HXC's Picture-In-Picture function. Record one live program while watching another live program. Or record two programs simultaneusly, all while watching a pre-recorded show.

The 6000HXC's internal 60GB hard drive holds roughly 36 hours of programming, but best of all, it's removable. You could pull the hard drive from the 6000HXC and hook it up to your personal computer for playback.

A FTA satellite receiver with a hard drive is a luxury. You can plan, set, and record your favorite TV shows at preprogrammed times.

The Pansat 6000HXC includes a USB 2.0 port for quick and easy interfacing with your personal computer, flash drive or multimedia device. The 6000HXC also features two common interface slots that are compatible with DVB PC card interface-based decoders for languages such as Irdeto, Astoncrypt, Viaccess, Nagravision and Nagravision 2. You can even store data or channel lists on a memory card.

Other admirable features include Power Scan (fully automated satellite scanning) and a programmable 10,000-channel (TV and radio) capacity. The 600HXC also includes component outputs for superior picture quality.

The Pansat 6000HXC Dual Tuner outperforms the Pansat 2700A, Pansat 2800, Pansat 3500SD, Pansat 150M and Pansat 250SM.

What's In The Box: The Pansat 6000HXC Dual Tuner PVR ships with a Diseqc 2.0 Switch, a null modem cable, RCA cables, component cables, universal remote, and (2) AAA batteries, Pansat 6000HXC Dual Tuner PVR User Manual.
