Programming multiple satellite receivers

    I would like to program multiple satellite receivers. I need the ability to make an copy of a channel configuration (eg: Astra 19.2 German) and using usb program multiple receivers. Ideally I'd like to program both regular receivers and receivers with hds/multiple tuners with the same software.

    Can anyone recommend such a receiver range? I'm looking for a reasonable price as I need to charge a markup on them also.


    Thanks.

    All modern FTA satellite receivers come with USB and allow this, just setup and program one, backup to usb and upgrade from USB on all other boxes.

    The 8820 is a twin tuner, the OP does not mention the need for terrestrial. The Amiko HD Mini is Satellite only and may be better http://www.amikostb.com/?q=product&id=178

    Thanks for the replies. To clarify I'm looking for low cost standard resolution receivers that I can easily program. The receivers will be configured as 19.2 German, others astra 2 UK etc.. so I need the ability to easily load channels.

    And as this is a service I need to make a markup so the price of the receivers is a priority also:)

    Satellite only ? (No RTEs etc ???)

    Then you should be looking at the Ferguson Ariva 52E. About €37 each retail. They do HD channels as well. HDMI or Scart output.
