I have been running the X5 receiver for several months now. It is pretty fast for blind scanning and fairly sensitive. Not the best tuner but far from the worst. The 7/24 firmware has been pretty stable for me. The iptv works well on it. I think for the money it is worth it even if you don't have a satellite connection. If you have a fast internet connection it is worth the money. They can be had for around 60$ give or take. It doesn't do 16apsk as far as I can tell.
