[QUOTE="nicole, post: 4692"] I aquired the above unit SAB-MAC 9700 DR9704-2 unit froma large company that was being merged, the wholesalers did not know what it was and paid $5.00 for it. I am not an expert in systems and called scientific atlanta up, they would not tell me anything but said it can pick up 50 transponders and it has encryption built in the chips, they said because of that I can pick up any "bird" I can find. ( he was an former airforce colnel ) Are these units any good or what, I hooked it up to my pc which has tv card and mepeg video editing card, and two special video cards, but I am some what clueless.
