I received the vantage 8000s today.It is a very nice recevier
but I am having a few problems.The blindscan is really fast.I first scanned 105W it picked up the nbc mux S2 on the scan.It took about five minutes to scan the whole satellite.The picture is awesome.I recorded some of the Today this morning and the view.The software is buggy.I scanned in the NFL game on AMC 1 tonight and the feed will not play without stuttering every other second.This is a mpeg2 feed.I
think I need to update the software that came with the box it is dated
june 2008.I went to vantage website but thei is no instruction on how to upload the latest firmware.If i go to HDnet on 127 w it can play that feed without problem.The bitrate is on 17MBPS.You can also record one channel in hd and watch another one.I do not know why it will not play the high bitrate mpeg 2 feeds without stutter.I went to ABC hd on 99w
stutter also and on the cbs hd channel.Ithink it is a software issue or bootloader.Will the 7100 play these high feeds?Do you have any suggestions?I know this box should be able to play high bitrate hd feeds.
