The all new DMS SG2100 & the 50mm tubes have arrived and are in stock!!

last picture is of it going in the freezer until tomorrow. So yes, FridgeFTA is giving it a Fridge test!

Now you can get a reliable FTA HD DVB-S2 receiver with PVR function at a price anyone can afford. Combine The OpenBox S9 with FridgeFTA’s reputation for top notch support, pre-installed exclusive North American/EU file, FREE shipping and FREE HDMI cable and you have a winning combination.

This receiver is simple enough to use that a “newbie” to True FTA can use it, yet has advanced features that the serious hobbyist demands. Have a Traxis? The OpenBox uses Ali architecture and is very similar in menu layout. Built in CAM/CI support also allows this box to be used for subscription services in the USA and worldwide.

The OpenBox S9 supports all formats except 4:2:2. Supported standards/formats: DVB-S, DVB-S2, SD, HD, H264, MPEG-2 & MPEG-4. 4:2:2 is mainly used on a few SD feeds, with more switching to HD everyday.

In addition to the MPEG-2 HD there are great HD and SD channels from NBC on 103W/AMC-1 and 125W/AMC21. Get it all with the OpenBox S9!! No HDMI? The OpenBox downconverts AC-3 audio to analog, allowing you to enjoy the AC-3 feeds and channels without issue on your SDTV.

Limited time introductory pricing. Click for more info.

The Primestar Ku FTA bracket is now available for ordering. These are not hard to make but for those without the equipment or the time you can buy one. Attaches a spitfire or other Ku LNB nice and secure to your Primestar/Starband without “rigging it” or modding the dish at all. Performance was equal to the larger HOTDISH90.
