CaptiveWorks is the Best FTA receiver on the market by far. I have gotten nothing but GREAT support for this receiver . Don't be fooled by other brands which are new to the FTA game...This Set Top Box is the real deal. You can't go wrong with CaptiveWorks.

The reason I bought it was simply the price, I got 2 of them for the price of my ONE viewsat Ultra.
I was surprised to see that this unit seems to be the last one to go down (ecm)and amongst the first to recieve new fixes as well
It's small,Stylish and easy to use.

I would give this receiver a 4.5/5

This receiver is awesome, I did my research before I bought and I am glad I bought this receiver. Cost me just over 100bucks and I have no regrets.

This is one of the only receivers that is currently rolling on the new mecm's, and for the price that is what is so surprising with captiveworks!

Very easy menu which is customizable too!

Only con's with this receiver is it has no usb input for a thumb drive. So you have to dig the receiver from the tv and plug it into your computer. Not a big deal because these receivers rarely go down though!

I would recommend that if the usb thing is a big deal, then purchase the cw700, which is basically the same receiver but it has the usb input.

One thing I found annoying was the PIP, has options to have 4,8,12,24 or something channels going at once, I found this rather useless and confusing to use, I don't use it so that's why it's no big deal.
