The Pansat 3500SD FTA Receiver

Once in a while a company establishes a presense in a market that creates such a great reputation it is worth mentioning. This fares well for the designers at Pansat. While not exactly at the top of the market with technological advancements we find it worth mentioning Pansats' 3500SD model purely because it shows great promise to be a workhorse with extremely reliable features. Replacing last years 3500S model the 3500SD shows once again that Pansat sticks with reliablity.

With Pansat garnering a huge share of the market they are very careful when releasing new models to the general FTA user. The new 3500SD gains extra features over the S models and shows why it has been a top seller. It's ease of use and the new SDRAM card slot on the front of the unit score high marks for user functionality.

Fully MPEG-2 compliant the component video jacks provide picture quality of immaculate proportions whatever monitor or TV you are hooking it up to. A new advanced 3 day Electronic Program Guide allows you to preview your favorite shows and program the channels and recording times up to 72 hours in advance.
