SCTV are sourcing all their MMDS hardware - including the Digital MMDS Convertor - from MDS International of France. The STB they are using is the IRD350, pictured here. It is capable of both analogue and digital MMDS reception - however given the technical differences between MDS International's Hypercable MMDS, and traditional "QAM" MMDS, it is doubtful that you'll be able to recieve Chorus signals with it!

It features: On Screen Display, Configuration Software, Remote Control, Smart Card Reader. Parental Code, Downloading Software Application, Interactive OpenTV (TM) OS, Conditional Access System: Viacess and Nagravision.
