[QUOTE="pontiend, post: 869493, member: 275842"] No problem martin the idea of the post was to get some feedback on recievers. Although I have blind scan on my TM5402.It would be nice to have a good one on the next reciever that I buy.Which looks like it is going to be the solo2. I have one more question about the sol2.I can do most things that I want with my Alien2.The usual things that you do with a linux box.Use DBE .DCC.One thing that it falls down on is feed hunting which I do a lot.It is fine for normal satellite use.But if you get it onto a transponder or satellite with no signal. The box freezes ,it slows down.it is as if the prosseser is overloaded.It can take some time to get out of the menus.once you get it back onto a live transponder it is back to normal.It is most annoying.It has nearly gone into the bin more than once.Apart from that it is a good reciever. I am asuming that the solo2 does not suffer from that.If not I shall be ordering one today. While I am at it.The reason that I would like another blind scan is this.The TM blind scan is pretty good.I have noticed on occasion that it can miss live transponders.One in particular I know that RASTDTV on 45w is live but when I blind scan it the reciever never finds it.It has happened on another transponder also.So it is probably missing others too. Hope that lot makes sense I run off a bit a the mouth a bit when I get going.:) [/QUOTE]
