[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1104376, member: 178786"] How about a GTMedia 4K android receiver? On paper, the GTMedia v8 UHD looks well specified with funtionality including modulation up to 64APSK, S2X and 4K. I dont know how the spec translates to real world testing as I do not have one, however if it is cheap enough it might be worth a shot? GTMedia produced a receiver nicknamed "the fag packet", also known as the Freesat v7. It was noted by a few forum members as having a sensitive tuner and was very cheap. The possible issue with GTMedia is that range selection for blind scan was not supported in the Freesat v7 model. I am not sure if it has been implemented in later models. There is a blind scan, however it is might only be filterable by band or polarity. You can however scan the entire range for a satellite, that is for sure. If you want range selection for the blind scan on a modern receiver that is also 4K, DVB-S2X and 16APSK capable you are probably restricted to E2 receivers and possibly one or two other manufacturers? It might be a compromise of having to use several different receivers to get complete coverage? [/QUOTE]
