Dr HD F15, Blade 7000 or Technomate 5402HD Mark 1 (not 2 or 3) have very sensitive tuners...

Dr hd d15 , tm800 & tm5302 all have the same sensitivity. My vu duo is very deaf.

How much of that do you think is down to individual tuners? My VU+ Solo is not that far behind the Dr HD in terms of sensitivity. Certainly, on my 1M dish it will lock a horizontal TP on the older Nilesats at 7W for most of the day.

The vu duo works quite well on most things. But it's not the same as the dr hd or tm5302. It can be upto 1.5db differance.

In c-band I can watch a lot more channels with the tm5302, but the vu just blocks, pops and squeaks.

What are you hoping to watch? A sensitive tuner is no substitute for a bigger dish if its out of area fringe reception.

The azbox premium has a sensitive tuner but no comparison to the receivers I listed above and it does miss tp quite often and its blind scan is like watching grass grow.

It's. It always the "best"tuner it's also the symbol rate it covers. That is what is really annoying about my vu duo.

Only clones in China but there are still quite a few new ones for sale here in Canada. I sold my premium+ a couple of months ago and kept my azbox ultra for those 4:2:2 feeds.

I will leave the clones alone.

I will stick with the tbs6925 card for the 4:2:2.

Best Lnb's I have tested recently with the 100cm Gibertini are these 2:-

MTi AP8-T2NRC single Lnb 0.2
Inverto Black Ultra HGLN Lnb 0.2

Both worked very well on the TM6900HD Combo Super+

I've tuned SR's down to 1000 on my Duo. Only problem is it is a bit slow to get lock at these SR's. Apart from the that the tuner is pretty sensitive.
