Just bought a Comag SL 100HD

Hello,

Today, I bought an SL 100HD and I wanted to share a few quick pointers about it.

-The software is very fast compared to my Echostar 3000IP.

-Even though this is not advertized, it received full HD channels in DVB-S2 and 8PSK.

-The picture quality of HD channels at 9E is absolutely stunning (FTV HD, etc)

-The tuner does not seem as good as the one of the Echostar 3000IP. The Echostar has a much lower threshold at which channels are watchable, I think.

-I have it connected to a Samsung 40" full HD tv via HDMI. Again, the picture is simply amazing. However, make sure to set the output to 1080i 50Hz. I you set it to 60Hz the picture wouldn't be fluid. Maybe you have to set it to 60Hz when watching north american feeds, though.

Overall, it's a really really nice HD receiver for what it costs. I paid 85 Euros for it used.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

Yes they are great value and the tuner is quite sensitive but the only drawback ATM is we are unable to get ITV HD.

Has anyone tried the new software 178 on Comag Site/
Tnx

OK tried the new software but still no ITV although I have managed to receive the audio after updating the channel list with a different editor than the one on the comag site.

BTW does anyone know if there is a patch available for this model as there is a lot of talk on the German forums about menus for emus etc.
