This receiver was as easy to program as the Viewsat Ultra that I bought 2 years ago. I have only half as much invested in the SV premier with svlan than I have into the VS ultra with the weather forecaster. It may be SD only but produces a crisp, quality picture. The only real trick to setting it up is you have to switch a network setting (from static to DHCP) plus enter the serial number of the svlan, but if you have set up another receiver before it is pretty self explanatory. I am very pleased with this unit. For only $140 (receiver/svlan combo) at the time I composed this review, I certainly wasn't disappointed :)
I believe the receivers description was worded poorly. I had a false impression of it's capabilities. I read it as if, the receiver was able to receive a digital satellite signal. Unfortunately, it does not! I would appreciate it if someone would/could explain to me, how to configure this particular receiver so it will use a digital signal. Till that happens, I am unable to use this receiver.

1)Fuzzy screen resolution in all aspect ratios. 2)PVR feature has serious issues. Does not perform as stated. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 3)Good music and photo file support. 4)Good 333Mhz processor and 512MB internal SDRAM. 5)Better units exist in the same price range. 6)Can be purchased cheaper & without tax charges out of state of Florida 7)Beware of $15.00 "restocking fee" not mentioned at time of sale if you decide to return the item.
excellent receiver, many features and priced right. set up was fairly easy and overall im extremely pleased. unit also has a built in dv-r. when i decide to go hi-def later ill more then likely also go with a sonicview HD receiver.
