[QUOTE="fastback, post: 4644"] A colleague of mine has got a Manhatten and an Echostar! He prefers the Manhatten as it is easier to add channels and also extra satellites. He has had problems with the Manhatten though. These problems include the east/west limits being reset, satellite positions being lost and a complete corruption of the receivers system files (Bios). This resulted in ALL his positions being lost. The decoding of encrypted channels seems to be quicker as well and the receiver allows the swapping of CAMS whilst still switched on.
