That is the premium plus...not the elite

If you can only scan one symbol rate at a time, that's kind of useless. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular without hardware support, and it sounds like they didn't disappoint

Looks like we posted at the same time, Iceberg. How do you know it's the Plus? I haven't looked yet today, but as of a couple of days ago I hadn't seen any screen shots of the Plus operating in English.

Somebody's going to have to download it and try it. I don't know why it's so hard to get good in-depth reviews of anything from boards other than this one. Like the Dutch guy I saw who said that he tried the blind scan on the Plus and it started finding channels, so he stopped it. Wow, way to exercise the unit there dude.

Yep it does, and it doesn't. Oh, it looks like it alright, but you have to give it a signal rate, and it scans ONLY that signal rate. If for some reason you know the signal rate, it will find the frequency for you.....otherwise its useless.

How's that? What post are you responding to?

The forum I was on said if you put the symbol rate to 30000 it will scan up to that,he said he found channels around 27500,this is in europe.

The new firmware has "Poor Man's" Blind Scan
You set the Freq Range, FEC, Modulation, and Pilot if dvb-s2
Freq: 3700 - 4200
Scan Rate: 29270
FEC: Auto
Modulation: DVB-S

or

Freq: 3700 - 4200
Scan Rate: 24770
FEC: 5/6
Modulation: DVB-S2
Pilot: On

From what I read from other sites, the AZBox will scan up to the SR you input. So lets say you input Symbol Rate of 12000, it will only scan up to 12000 symbol rate. I will test it when I get the chance. It's a start though!
