HD Tuner Sensitivity test
Gibertini 100cm dish used in this trial fitted with a 0.2 Inverto Black Ultra
I have picked the weakest satellite transponder at my location for this test
ABS 3A @ 3 west
11460 V 2992 HD 1920 x 1080 ½ DVB-S2 QPSK MPEG-2 = ABS Test card
1=Amiko A4K combo=======66% signal level 44% Signal Quality
2=Octagon SX88==========77%=========22%====================
3=Technomate TM5502HD===91%=========21%====================
4==========TM6902HD=====87%=========38%====================
All four tuners worked OK with this weak transponder no picture break up observed,
The signal reading is just a guide 2 & 3 are probably more accurate in scale than 1 & 4,
Overall tuner sensitivity is much the same over all four receivers,
Slightly less sensitive but still capable of weak signals are this group:-
SpiderboxHD9000 & HD9900
Technomate TM5302HD
AZBox Premium+
Technomate TM5402HD M1 & M2
TM6900HD Combo Super+
The following are not as good but can still produce some good results
AZBox Elite
Technomate TM1500CI Super+ SD
Eaglebox HD800
Technomate TM5402 M3
========F3/5

Satellite receivers retired due to software / hardware outdated
Humax IRCI-5400 (Probably the best tuner of this bunch)
