Hi,Now , AzBox relese new update firmware 0.9.2163.From now support 4:2:2 HD.Nachmany

this is good news, does the receiver have any kind of blind scan function ?

i might consider this receiver instead of a pc hd sat card

From what I've read there is no blind scan facility yet with either AZ HD receiver, but the official firmware hasn't been released yet, it's still a work in progress.
But the box sounds quite good, especially the 4:2:2 option, and some of the future options.
There was a pdf manual I downloaded fro somewhere , with a lot of informatuon, I'll check their site:

It might be worth comparing the AZ HD, Q Box HD and the Dreambox HD.

the box does do 4:2:2 a friend of mine has got one recently and they said it works fine on them feeds

Yes it works fine.

Think this will be the Box when they get into FW 1.0

emailed them and software blind scan is in the pipeline

Will it be painfully slow?

There is no time scale for this.

More important tasks must be fixed but it will be done !

I didn't mean that, I meant do you think the software blind scan will be slow.

Hard to tell but the latest SW (just installed and tested) is a BIG step forward.

I am sure that the V1 for this box will make all other makers cry

There is a new FW coming this month. Then it will be time for the box to leave the beta stage.
