been looking at receivers today, and came across this one.

seems to be well spec'd but cant find out any real world reviews or opinions on it.

there is a video on youtue showing blind scan, of 28.2e - not a great test, but looks to work...think its an Android OS too, which is different...

it could be a piece of junk of course

answers on a postcard.

And your opinions regarding its performance are?


I consider a good receiver, but does not accept symbol rate below 1000 (no value manually) and it does not sign up 60,000. It works very well ISDB-T here in South America. They also said that everything works very well the terrestrial mode. I was able to open and see the internal components (see attachments). They recently solved the problem for traceable antennas and now can move the engine. Flash memory (SPI) is 4MB only. Accepts T2-mi channels at 40.5ºW and 3ºE and in the blind search ..

Strong points:

DVB-S / S2 / S2X, DVB + T / T2 / ISDB-T / cabble (J83.A / C) / ATSC-C (J83.:cool:;
Support 4K, processor Dual-core MIPS74Kf;
Support Full PowerVu, DRE & Biss key;
Support DLNA, SAT To IP;
Support 2.4G WIFI, Ethernet.
Suppor Youtube, Web TV, Xtream;
Suppor Weather.
Support Network Sharing Cccam, Newcam, Mgcam.

Some pictures I did past months.

No Android OS (closed source/proprietary system)...

Yes, blindscan slow, but found DVB-S2X too (symbol rate 1 ~ 45).

For T2-MI/multistream, we can see mark (*) when blindscanning.

Autobiss function :)

Using tool for windows (WinGTShare unofficial tool), or Kodi, we can see feed 4:2:2 channels, lol.

Sadly they are not reliable. the epg bosting 7 days doesn't go further than two programmes ahead and if you try to record something to an external hd via the timer which you have entermanual s the peg is useless, it's touch and go whether it actually records it or not. give it a miss

The Combo is MUCH better in my opinion.
