I dont understand where this negativity came from. What I find interesting is back in November when the MicroHD first was spoken of (in regards to the audio streams on 139W) at that time Brian asked for input from the members here about how to make this receiver great. Find me another receiver out there that did that?
He didn't do what other companies do which is send out a receiver buggy as crap, maybe fix something and then drop it and rebadge it as a new model. SatelliteAv took their time and made sure that most everything was taken care of before sending it out.
The specs were posted in April about what it could do and what it can't and yet we're almost 3 months later and people are asking why ________ isnt a feature?
The back of the receiver is pretty much taken up by the connectors and due to the small size you can't get anything else on the back. But it has what most people need.
You are talking about "connector converter" and such well lets see....when the Sathawk/Solomend/Openbox first came out you were
REQUIRED to get an adapter for the power plug or to jimmy rig it. No way around that. The MicroHD works out of the box for probably 95% of the users out there.
There are features posted here that are being resolved but some would probably be down the road in the (as rv1pop writes) "MAXIMOCHUCHACO HD MAXI BOX"
Is the MicroHD for everyone? no
But compared to other receivers out there this one does what most folks want out of the box....and not have to worry about a software update to
maybe fix the issues.
