The VIEWSAT VSPRO is the 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, Viewsat 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.
