Article 003 - Orasat 5.0 FTA Receiver
To Clone or Not to Clone?

Nov 3, 2005

Orasat 5.0 New Low Cost FTA Receiver hits the market, but the question of the day is, To Clone or not to Clone

A new FTA receiver has hit the market, the Orasat 5.0. Touted by some as a step above the Coolsat, while others disagree.

Here are 4 reasons not to buy a clone:

#1 - Quality of components - Clones are made very very cheap. Their circuit boards have been known to fail after brief amounts of use. Buy a receiver that was manufactured to the same standards as your other home theatre equipment.

#2 - Software Compatibility - Clones are never 100% compatible with the factory flash files. You will find many glitches in the user interface.

#3 - Successful History - Buying from a brand name manufacturer ensures long term enjoyment in your FTA Receiver. While others are here today, and gone tomorrow, the major brands will be here and will continue to support their product. Many of these clones are manufactured in one lot by someone then sold. If you ever had a problem, there was never a company making them to begin with, just someone making a quick buck.

#4 - CSA ASA Approved - All of our products bear the stamp of the CSA or ASA meaning that they meet the safety standards set out by the laws of the land.

If you are looking for a great FTA receiver with a card reader and SP/DIF audio then look at the Viewsat Platinum FTA Receiver. This item is available for pickup in the Toronto Area. Shipping daily to Canada and the USA.
