Best Blind Scan Receiver for Feed Hunting
Blind Scan HD satellite receivers for Feed Hunting update November 20th 2013
After trying several other HD Blind Scan receivers over the last 6 months I have now made the Technomate TM5302 HD the best for Feed Hunting.
The Top 5
1/Technomate TM5302HD (Blind scan range of 600 to 45.000 symbol rate) reliability scores 95%
Display includes Symbol Rate, Modulation type DVB-S QPSK DVB-S2 8PSK or DVB-S2 QPSK,FEC,MPEG-2,MPEG-4, (APSK when found in search but does not display atm,)
Bit rates for Video & Audio displayed,Frame rate,TS Info,ECM & BER readouts,
Blind Scan is set @ 6MHz steps finds all transponders from 1000 to 45,000 symbol rate,
The Blind Scan is available in these MHz steps 1-2-3-4-6-8-16 & 32
For 98% of feeds found @ 6MHz steps - @ 4 MHz will find some lower symbol rates in the 800 to 45,000 range,
After the recent upgrades the TM5302HD has just got better & better for Feed Hunting,
2/Spiderbox HD9900 (Blind scan range of 600 to 45.000 symbol rate) reliability scores 90%
Display includes: Frequency,Symbol Rate, Modulation type DVB-S QPSK DVB-S2 8PSK or DVB-S2 QPSK,
8 MHz stepped blind finds all transponders with symbol rates
1,800 to 45,000 S/R
6 MHz stepped blind scan finds all transponders with symbol rates 1,500 to 45,000 S/R
4 MHz blind scan finds all transponders 1,200 to 45,000 S/R
3/Spiderbox HD9000 (Blind scan range of 500 to 45.000 symbol rate) reliability 90%
Blind Scan Specification as Spiderbox HD 9900
4/AZBox Premium HD+ (Blind scan range of 500 to 45.000 symbol rate) reliability scores 90%
+ 4:2:2 capability on the AZBox
The stepped Blind scan @ 5 MHz finds most transponders with symbol rates from 1,500 to 45,000
AZBox P+ is let down by poor support & has not kept up with recent developements such as avc codec, elecard & MPEG-4 in 4:2:2
5/TM6900HDSuper+ (Blind scan range of 2000 to 45.000 symbol rate) reliability scores 90%
Stepped Blind Scan @ 4 MHz finds most transponders 2,200 to 45,000
The TM6900HD would have scored higher but for these issues
(Overwrites symbol rates with the next active transponder when within 4MHz so that 12734 H 2170 becomes 12734 becomes 2604 as the next transponder is 12738 H 2604 on 10 east & effectively wipes out the channel data,) cannot find symbol rates below 2000cps,
Technomate TM5302HD is without doubt the best Blind Scan receiver for Feed Hunters.
Others tested TM5402HD Super M1,Blade 7000s, DrHD D15 all exibited the same Blind Scan fault of 45,000 symbol rate found when a low symbol rate is in use so not included in Best blind Scan Receiver,
Other developements The TM5402HD with the latest software has started to display Multi Streams not perfected atm but looks interesting.
