Nice, what tv are you using?

Toshiba 43U6763 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

Blind scan on the A4K

Astra @ 19.2 east 10700 to 12750 takes 10 min for the FTA Blind Scan to find all the active frequencies,
Then it takes 4 min to add the channels to the data base.
You can select V or H or All polarizations.

During the Blind Scan the found transponders go in sequence into the data base,

The Blind Scan is split into 4 bands currently unselectable by the user,

High Band H 11560 to 12750
High Band V 11550 to 12750
Low Band H 10700 to 11900
Low Band V 10700 to 11900

I also observed that they overlap.

The A4K is as sensitive as the SX88.

I have been using the Amiko A4 Combo for months now. IMHO it's the best 4k Android box on the market, but this seems to be a well kept secret. The picture quality is second to none !

There have been regular firmware updates. Many encryption systems are supported including DES Powervu. It has a smart card slot as well.

I can confirm your findings this certainly is an excellent Ultra HD box for feed hunting it keeps get's better everytime I upgrade it.

HD Tuner Sensitivity test
Gibertini 100cm dish used in this trial fitted with a 0.2 Inverto Black Ultra

I have picked the weakest satellite transponder at my location for this test
ABS 3A @ 3 west

11460 V 2992 HD 1920 x 1080 ½ DVB-S2 QPSK MPEG-2 = ABS Test card

1=Amiko A4K combo=======66% signal level 44% Signal Quality
2=Octagon SX88==========77%=========22%====================
3=Technomate TM5502HD===91%=========21%====================
4==========TM6902HD=====87%=========38%====================

All four tuners worked OK with this weak transponder no picture break up observed,

The signal reading is just a guide 2 & 3 are probably more accurate in scale than 1 & 4,

Overall tuner sensitivity is much the same over all four receivers.
