Same here. It does it with Ver 1.11 though. For the time being I have gone back to my Dreambox and Skystar2 as they are more reiliable.

Visionsat WORK on the problems please. It's not the hardware(I think) but the software.

Thanks for the heads-up! We have passed this information on...... Should have a new version posted with a fix to the DiSEqC Blind Scan issue.

Thanks Brian. It's still a great system and at least they work on the problems.

Thanks guys for posting your experience with the 4:2:2 video. The only bugs I have found so far are with the 4:2:2 video freezing the unit and the DiSEqC switching/blind scan problem.

And thank you to Brian for passing this info along to Visionsat. It is a very nice unit, I love mine.

sweet

So the buffering isnt working yet or is on this firmware?

**dot_null** · 11-16-2007 03:01 PM

Thanks for the new firmware!

Blind scan works great and 4:2:2 feeds don't lock the unit up anymore (now a black screen + audio).

The only other "bug" I have noticed is when you record a channel with AC3 audio (like the AC3 Pentagon Channel on AMC1 @ 103W, or the PBS channels on AMC3 @ 87W) and play it back, the recording pixelates significantly and the audio plays at about 2.5x speed (I am using the Sonic Voom headphones to decode AC3, if that matters). It's not a huge deal, as I can use my DVD recorder to record these channels, just a minor annoyance.

That being said, I love this unit and it works very well for me.

Kudos to Brian and Visionsat for their work in resolving issues with this unit.

do you have a diseqc switch involved? That was my big issue. I have a 8x1 diseqc and only port 1 would blind scan...have to try it tonite

Yep, I had a DMSI 22KHz switch that worked fine, and in light of these bugfixes I swapped it out for a DMSI 4x1 diseqc switch today.

Now blindscan works great for me on the 2 ports I have active (one for the LNB on my motorized, the other for my stationary AMC-1 dish).
