Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

[comfortably_numb]

On the V9, the blind scan and sensitivity are the best of anything I've owned

The GTX is even better in this regard

Good summary, cyberham the only difference for me is I find myself using the Edision less and less. The GTX does just about everything I need.

Does the V9 have the ability to edit/add PIDS? Either with the remote or with an editor? I haven't been able to find that option on mine.

I believe you can go to intstall and go to TP list and add or edit on it.

Once you get in TP list it will show the freq, bitrate and the H or V.

There are 4 color buttons listed at the bottom of the screen.

Hopes that helps!!

cyberham did you ever get an editor to work with the V9 to edit PIDS?

Following this procedure, for a TP you can edit using the remote control the frequency, symbol rate, polarity, PLSN (Gold or Root), PLSN Number (0 to 524288), T2MI TP (No, T2MI, TLS), T2MI PID (0 to 8191). I don't see any way to edit the VPID or APID this way.

I'm taking a fresh look at the PC-based editor for the V9 Prime now. I don't see a way to edit VPID or APID for a scanned channel. When you edit a channel, VPID and APID fields stay greyed out. So you can see the field contents but you can't change them. The only reason I use this editor is to arrange all the satellites in the order I prefer (from west to east) so when I rotate the dish, each satellite comes up logically.

Whereas on the V7S5X PC-based editor (different editor from the V9), I can edit the VPID and APID for a channel. I've never needed to do this.

Tough to justify another receiver...but the real Christmas is coming. If I were to buy a new receiver today, I'd certainly look at the GTX.
