Hello, I was very happy with my TM6900 Super for years, but probably it's time to upgrade. Looking for a new Technomate, and my choice is restricted between TM6902 Super and TM5402HD M3.
Maybe TM6902 would be a very simple choice because it's similar to my good old TM6900, but I suspect it's an old box, although still in production yet. Probably TM5402HD M3 has newer hardware and software but less features and functionality.
These are my targets:
1) High quality blind scan tuner. Well, reading William-1's opinion, it seems that 6902 is better than 5402 in blind scan operation (you are a big guy, William!!!), but what about normal reception? Which is the best tuner (sensitivity, selectivity.....)? Also, 6902 has an internal DVB-T2, not available in 5402. But it seems that 5402 supports 16APSK/32APSK, is it true? If so, it makes a big differences!
2) 8280 & 8281. No problem in 6902 installing right patch. What about 5402? Is BISS supported?
3) New encryptions support through new patch. Well.... a good example would be Powervu. It seems OK in 5402, not sure in 6902.
4) Network player. Is it possible with these two boxes browsing my NAS to play my favourite video and audio files?
5) General quality. As I said, 6902 seems better but maybe a little bit older..... I don't know. What do you think?
Any opinion is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
