[QUOTE="leecovuk, post: 651695, member: 190240"] Hello everyone, The subject line summarises my query, but to flesh it out... I have tried a few receivers over recent years, and none have satisfied me. It gets tiresome waiting for that elusive firmware upgrade to finally fix problems or significantly improve the firmware. I currently have a Technomate TM 6900 HD Combo Super, which whilst quite good, has a number of bugs which Technomate seem in no hurry to fix. So, which satellite receiver do you have which matches all the following requirements: SD and HD reception (presumably HD only from satellite, not yet UK Terrestrial Digital HD); Terrestrial Digital SD reception in the UK (must be capable of tuning time shared channels without removing channels not on air at the time of the scan); SCART, HDMI, S-Video, Video+RCA(phono) inputs/outputs; Built in card reader(s) and embedded decryption of a major encryption type, eg Viaccess, Irdeto; Stable manufacturer firmware available with no perceptible bugs, whether intermittent or otherwise; Accurate tuner capable of tuning and stable locking to all signals of moderate strength/quality (I know other non receiver factors can affect this, but I mean you don't suspect the tuner is unreasonably failing to tune or lock on some signals/frequencies); A free feature-rich and stable channel editor is available, specifically designed for this receiver model, whether supplied by the manufacturer or somebody else. (for use via RS232/serial and/or USB) So, do you have a receiver you can recommend? Many thanks, Lee UK PS I don't do or have any desire to undertake Card Sharing, and very little is now open via patches and softcams, so I can happily sacrifice any known support for these issues, if it means my list of requirements is met. (That last part sounds a bit sinister doesn't it, but you get the idea ...) [/QUOTE]
