Hi all
can some one point me in the right direction. In which receiver to get for feed hunting thanks jay

A Blind scan receiver like the Technomate would do it. I use the TM5400 for normal feed hunting and a TM6900 for HD/DVB-S2 feeds

well i use the vantage x221s for scanning mpeg2 and hd i use a hd sat card in my pc

the vantage 8000s is good on blind scanning due to it being hardware based.

I use a vantage x200s , i also have tm1000 and manhattan plaza xtf. i find the vantage is best and quickest for feedhunting !

Its a pity that SatSid doesn't come on here anymore, this guy was an absolute god when it came to feed hunting

I know Sid always used to rave on about how good the Vantage was so i would say the same as some of the other members, go for the Vantage

Thanks Nano,still feedhunt from time 2 time lol.Update on box for feeds just might be the azbox,A beta blind scan just came in last firmware,i say beta.Atm it only scans in 5 mhz steps,also the sr is not very good atm.If thay add more mhz steps ie 1,2,3,4,5, & say 10 it will make the azbox better.Vantage x200 i like for mpeg2 scanning,but azbox will show 4.2.2.where most wont.Not sure if one of the twin Octagon could do 4.2.2.Think i read on this awhile back somewhere.A quick warning on Octagon,if like my 518 menus,it might be funny.I can use the 518 but its not very friendly menus.I should put ORG software back on this,while on the 518?where would i get the ORG software,anyone have Octagons home site please.
thanks.
