Viewsat® is a high-end DSS Free-To-Air group of products that are imported and distributed in the United States by Viewtech, Inc. Consumers turn to Viewsat because they are regarded as the highest quality equipment capable of providing the latest features in stunning ways.

Free to Air satellite (FTA satellite) is a term that describes satellite signals which a person can receive legally -- without having any subscription -- and though it is not encrypted, it is typically encoded for MPEG-2 video and may have geographical restrictions. Free to Air satellite content and programming has found it's way to the Ku (Kurtz under) Band, which allows Free To Air programming to be broadcasted with considerably smaller satellite dishes- consuming far less power. Unlike subscription-based, pay-per-view satellite television programming ; Hundreds of Free to Air channels are received by utilizing a common MPEG-2 video compatible satellite receiver, since broadcasts are unencrypted.

The VIEWSAT VSPRO is our newest and of course most powerful and exciting Free To Air Receiver to date! This PVR ready receiver will knock your socks off. This receiver was initially designed to be a dual tuner PVR so the GUI was created for TRUE PVR functionality. In order to make this unit more affordable, we redesigned it to have a single tuner with the option of adding an external Hard Drive through either of two USB ports. The VSPRO uses the fastest processor ever in the FTA market, a blazing 260MHz ST! With 32 Mb SDRAM, a beautiful new GUI, 2 USB ports (front and rear), this STB is sure to be Viewsats new best seller. For more information, contact a Viewsat dealer near you.                 $ 229.00

 

The VIEWSAT ULTRA is best selling Free To Air Receiver. We’ve added a faster processor (200 MHz), double the memory of the Xtreme (32 Mb SD RAM), and a USB communications port for easy data updates. Now you can use your USB flash drive to update your receiver. The new universal remote that comes with this unit is awesome. If that's not enough, wait until you see the new colorful Graphic User Interface. This is by far the best FTA STB the market has ever seen.    $189.00

Viewsat VS2000 Platinum LITE

The Viewsat Platinum Lite was developed to meet the demand for a lower priced unit with the same power as the Viewsat Platinum. In order to accomplish this, we took the Viewsat Platinum and trimmed the fat. The Lite does not include a card reader or Dolby output. Standard remote included. The Lite also has one set of composite outputs. Other than that, it is just as user friendly and powerful as it's big brother, the Viewsat Platinum. Check with your dealer for pricing.  This unit uses Platinum firmware.  $159.00
