Nope, I've never seen one as far as I know. There's 8psk's though and those work fine. I'd try for one if I knew where it was... I have both a MicroHD and an X2HD.

Ok, I was pm'ed 3 hrs ago while sleeping (I'm a night worker) with a lead for a 16apsk channel on 95W c-band: "There is a 16apsk feed up on 95w now.... 3968 V 1035"
Results:
MicroHD found it on a standard blindscan, 76% quality and locked but it has a blackscreen, no audio.
X2 HD: Can't even find it either on default blindscan, OR a transponder scan of that exact frequency and specs.
MicroHD won this particular shoot-out.
P.S. 10ft "Perfect 10" dish with orthomode feed, modified switch and Norsat 8115 lnb's. Located in Mid-Michigan. Also, I now have a horse-race video showing on this on the MicroHD. Still can't scan in on the X2 HD

Why two remotes? I can foresee my wife and I in a dueling of the remotes if we both had one?

They fixed the channel editor. It now lets you move groups of channels. When changing satellites I lose video until I hit next channel button 2-3 times. After a few days, I went back to the June FW and all is well.
Got to be honest, that is one of the things that I liked about the receiver... I am always losing the remote, so always good to have a spare around.
No dogs except one outside BIG watchdog. No kids except when the grand kids visit and they're stumped by the existing 6 remotes needed to watch TV. One wife who when she ever does decide to watch TV, usually does one of two things depending upon her mood: picks the remotes up one at a time and starts punching buttons thereby screwing up all the settings; or picks up one remote and asks for the thousandth time, "which one of these turn the TV on"?

don't have that problem either,so I can pop the lids off everything and not have to worry about prying fingers/paws or urine damage.
OK so I've been looking in this thread off and on now for a while and I've about decided to try one of these "cheap" X2 Premium HD receivers. So I went looking on Newegg via that link that's in this thread and they appear to have sold out? Sellers on fleabay and Amazon got prices I don't like so I did a search and came up with this.

Problem is it's coming from China and some of the shipping info states it might take 30 days to get here?? If I buy I'm not wanting to wait that long so does anyone know of a vendor here in the States with a price this good?
Thanks

That's the only place left where you can get the $50~ rate, and you'd better hurry because they are brought over in batches and sell out quickly.

It's essentially the same as the Geosat HDVR1200. I've got them both, the only difference I can see is the case design, layout of a couple of remote keys, and the menu layouts. They appear to function almost identically. My HDVR1200 has a problem when you delete all TP's from a Sat, it will pretty much always cause the receiver to freeze or lock up, but, pulling the power and re-powering it gets it working again. The X2 doesn't have that problem, and, I kinda like the remote layout and menus from the X2 better than those of the HDVR1200. Please correct me if I am mistaken about any of this, this is just from my experience and what I recall about using these 2 receivers.
I also have both. The 1200 has a better quality picture, but needs a software upgrade. There is no channel editor. The 1200 clock is superior.

x2 squared hd receiver iptv
I noticed the new firmware says IPTV fully support. I saw the video that said load your url.txt list on the system and away you go. Well I have two things I would like to do. But I didn't know if somebody already talked about this yet or not.
1. I tried the current iptv channels and found they are in Japanese. Okay well that is fine. But no english sub titles and mostly children programming.
2. I tried to look for iptv urls and started getting into those shady websites. YUCK!.
3. It looks like you can stream your own IPTV stuff using the vcl media player.
So I'm just looking for a heads up. Maybe a point in the right way. Maybe a good list of legit iptv channels in english. Sound like a fun project to stream something from vcl media player.
I'll start searching around.
TTFN,

Entering "codes" to receive scrambled programming without paying isn't talked about or tolerated on this site. IF there is a legitimate need to enter keys or something, I haven't seen anything on it here. Bypassing encryption is illegal in the US, there are other forums that probably talk about that stuff. As far as the IPTV thing, haven't tried that at all, the legitfta forum may have something about that.
