Pansat 3500SD Mpeg-2 DVB Receiver


The Pansat 3500SD is one of the best FTA receiver on the market. Kusat is the oldest Pansat (Panarex) dealer in Canada.

Fraud Alert: Did you see Pansat receivers advertised for less? If you are not buying from a reputable dealer, you may be buing a "clone" or you may be out of luck if you try to get any service from that "fly-by-night" ebayer or "fly-by-night dealer". A "clone" receiver is a knock-off of the original Panarex receiver. Please refer to this letter from Panarex to learn more about clones. Ku Satellites has been an official Panarex dealer since 1997.
