Valued-oriented TV maker Vizio this week added a range of new content and services to its line of Internet-connected HDTVs.

nFusion Phoenix


We recently received the nFusion Phoenix for review. Right out of the box you can tell this is a quality piece of hardware. The chassis is sturdy and attractive and it comes with all the cables you need to connect it to your TV or enterntainment center. In addition to the standard set of features most FTA units have, this unit also has an ethernet port already built in, enabling a set of multi-media rich options to be delivered online as well as via satellite.

You won't find a more affordable or more stable Ethernet Enabled FTA receiver on the market. Priced to move at only $209.99, you can purchase the Phoenix or its little sister the Solaris at http://www.efta.us today!!

Sonicview 8000 HD


OK boys and girls, you have got to get this new SonicView 8000HD from www.efta.us. It was so simple to install and setup, the time from out of the box to operation took a mere 10 minutes for me (My Motor Dish was already set up though). The SonicView 8000HD is a very well constructed box as well. I was impressed with the temperature controlled fan which provides cooling for the CPU and all other components, which solves overheating problems in a confined space or as some do “Stacking Components On Top Of Each Other” The friendly GUI was nice and easy to use and the EPG sets this IRD apart from all others.

After setting it up for operation, I noticed a picture better than no other. The HDMI output color burst was phenomenal and so crisp, I had to take a double take as I looked at the picture. I also loved the front mount USB port which is used for uploading files and recording. Oh, and by the way I recorded some shows on my 8GB USB flash drive which was Sweet. The motor function worked great too, as I expected. Oh, I almost forgot the boot speed and scanning of channels was incredible as well, almost floored me.

As being a Pioneer in Sat since 1974, this IRD is awesome, friendly to use, and the specs are here to stay. My only gripe is no dual tuner for recording while watching another channel, and no USB port on the back for an external USB hard drive, but that’s me .

I still rate the SV8000HD a 9.5 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best!! I test other HD IRD’s also, but this SV8000HD ROCKS!!!
And don’t forget to order this awesome IRD from www.efta.us, the Most trusted site in FTA with live help 24/7 at www.dsscommunity.com
