Is it a good receiver?

[sinakh]

Hi ,

I am going to get CS-7100,I took a look to its Spec. ,and every things look like O.K ,is there any body to tell me , is it a good choice ?Or I should go for another model.
Its manual shows that, if we record a file for more than 4 GB we can't watch it on the receiver and we must use a PC, but I don't 4GB is how many minute.

From what i know this is a nice receiver but the cons are there files have been slacking meaning they are'nt coming out as fast as they use to!!! Hope this helps and answers some questions for you

IMHO it's a great receiver...probably the best PVR FTA receiver...I own it's cousin the CS7000.

The biggest issue today is support for the third party files. At times the files will be 2 to 3 days behind other receivers, however the last couple of releases have come in the top 5 released...same day or next day!

All the PVR FTA receivers record at approximately 1GB per hour. I have never had a problem with my CS7000 recordings..think the longest movie I have recorded is 3.5 hours and it plays back perfectly.

As an alternative, I'd look at the CW800S PVR, its had good reviews and is very reasonably priced.

Cheers

Figure 1 gig per hour for recording. CS has been up and down in their timing for fire releases. Overall up time "compared" to other units leaves a bad taste for some users. Lately the files seem to come faster!
