I can't wait for your opinion. If it has your "blessings", I will prolly have to buy one :-)

Well, this is the preliminary thoughts of the box. Now I basically hooked it up to my 2nd feed of my motorized KU setup. I worked off 3 satellites. SBS6, AMC5 and G10

-Yes there is a blind scan. Had to find it but had one of those "D'OH" moments. Its an option in the menu which is nice. Menu, channel up, select throws you into the blind scan (its the last option so channel up gets you there faster)
-its a legit blind scan.
-satellites listed seem to be in order from E to W
-hitting "ok" gives you a channel list. A big one (27 channels to be exact). Color coordinated if there are scrambled channels in the bunch
-easy to operate menus (that is what I like)
-pretty compact unit
-real clock that can be changed manually and timers

-I do have a couple issues with the blind scan. The one that is big is I am using a Standard LNB...so why does the blind scan go up to 12300 MHZ? Should stop at 12200. That extra 100 takes a while I scanned each polarity separatelly
-Blind scan isn't as fast as the Coolsat (that has been noted in other posts) but it is pretty fast and accurate. It picked up 2 TP's that the Coolsat didn't (feeds)

The remote is compact and is a universal remote.



More later....

Ice, I am starting to think the tuner is more sensitive on this Neusat, than the Cs
I have gotten more stable signals on weak channels since I start using it on the C-KU LNBF.

It couldnt grab the mux on SBS6 (12008 V 6890) but the Coolsat did (picture had some pixelation in it)...

Right now it is a nice box for the prices people have got these at. Very rarely can you get a brand new box with a decent blind scan for under $80

OK...I was wrong. On the blind scan it goes up to 13000

so from 12200-13000 it scans nothing (and wastes time)
