It's like every receiver in this hobby, some things good, some things bad, some things stupid... All in all, I like it. 4K recordings on 4K TVs are spectacular. I can only play out 1080p live at my house and it looks great on the 4K channels and good on HD. But like I said, 4K recordings played...

PM sent... 2 more tidbits: The audio never glitches when the picture freezes. It plays perfectly. S/N at least 25db on the Avcom spectrum analyzer.

Thanks!

I would like to request again the ability to remove the "Scrambled" label and dot. There is a feed that should be scrambled, but it is playing clearly. Maybe press the exit button a few times? It is really distracting. Thanks.

There is some stuttering/freezing on the 3D and world feeds of the Masters today. Live and recorded. High bitrate h.264 HD could be the cause.

My bad... I forgot about the ACM thing AND it seems I misremembered that NOAA was 32APSK. I think the highest modulation is 16APSK. But thanks for a great STABLE satellite receiver. It works well. I'll just keep tweaking my dish until I get some 32APSK feeds.

Well, that's good to know. I don't know of any 24/7 32APSK feed other than NOAA, and I've never tried for it. I have a 10' dish and I use a spectrum analyzer to peak the dish when searching. I am aware of the signal needs for 32APSK reception. I was just hoping that I had at least locked a...

Any! Are you saying 32APSK should be working? I have never logged a 32APSK service on a scan, or any that have been posted. I don't want to list anything in the open. I can send you some privately, if you wish. (Also they are not my finds, so I won't post someone's finds without their...

Whatever happened to support for 32APSK (and higher)? There seems to be more and more feeds out there with this advanced modulation and it would be fun to see a few... or even just lock them. And it does not seem to be possible to add an IP feed channel manually for recording. Is that only...

OK I will do that as soon as it happens again. It's rare, but it does happen. Thanks. If they can't be displayed, then don't bother. It's not important, and now I know how the box works. Thanks again. Great news. I look forward to playing with this box for a long time. I appreciate...

A couple of requests (to be added to the huge list so far). On the remote - when the second info box is up, can a simple channel up or down make this go away instead of having to push Info or Exit. Can you make the Scrambled bug time out or use Exit to turn it off? Every once in a while a...

I am glad you posted that, as it would be useful to some folks around here. And, yeah, losing half the signal (3db) with a splitter would not be great for finding the weak signals, but it would work in a pinch (and prove what the problem was and how to fix it). I read somewhere about someone...

Won't work for me as I have a 13V/18V/22KHz switch and not a DiSEqC switch.

An FYI that may or may not be related: The S10 puts out a voltage that is not really up to standard for Vertical switching. It is 14VDC and above under little to no load. It really should be closer to 13VDC. It is high enough that I got no vertical out of a Terk DirecTV switch that has worked...

It looks better to me than SD ...in my opinion. According to an article about CNN's upgrade to HD in TV Technology on April 7, they will have their primetime shows in HD by this summer and the rest to follow by fall.
