I'm aware of the Pansat 9200HD and the Vantage, but are there any other receivers out there that can blind scan s2?

Unless you get the add on S2 board, the Pansat 9200 CANNOT blind scan S2

The Pansat 9200HD doesn't do 4:2:2 format or does it?

Correct, it does not do 4:2:2 , nor does the Vantage.
There is no box that blindscans DVB-S2 AND decodes 4:2:2 chroma.

But that leaves DVB-S2 4:2:2 open
You can get a Vantage and AZBox with money left over, and have all bases covered. Except decent HD recording and DVB-S 8PSK. LOL

I meant, AcWxRadar seems to be having "issues" with his new box, all of the above may be easier to use.
I have no issues using the Q either, or any box, just have to learn them.
