Starcom (A7) Dvb-s Ultra Mini Digital Satellite Receiver

Was skeptical of this tiny box but it performs quite well. Main shortcoming is no RF output and the mini manual is a nano manual Virtually non existant. The box would be totally useless unless there was strong prior knowlege of using the FTA receivers.Also the same problem of many other FTA receivers is "lockup "on strange signals that require a power on reset to clear.Delivery time was super excellent

You may want to play with 4 change and 2 move.BTW I purchased a ONN universal remote at Walmartthat has startcom codes but they will not work with this unit (bummer).

Well packed received in good condition but not arrived on time, 2 days late. No problem with the receiver except it set on PAL and no function on remote that could changed from PAL to NTSC which all tv's in our region are using. I have to look for someone who are using it to converted to NTSC otherwise I won't be stablizing the picture.

power cord will not work in the USA

European adapter requiredCould not get receiver to work on swveral lcd televisions. Ended up scrapping it for a 40 dollar receiver From Walmart That worked just fineThis cheapl constructed productIs not worth the hassle

This little receiver works better than expected. For the price it's a great deal. If you work with fta systems will be a breeze to setup.

This is a nifty little receiver with a few quirks. First, do not purchase it without a plug adapter if you do not already have one. Second, follow the instructions given by Les Versaw (in a review) to program it. A quirk I found was getting it to work when I changed my LNB (port) setting. I needed to unplug and plug it in again before I auto scanned. Other than that, it seems to work well.

If you don't need High def then this work great. One thing I should mention. It will not scan any high definition channels. I think this must be common for a non HD receiver.
