Hello to all the X2'ers out here. Ive been reading here for a couple weeks after I received my X2 and I am pleased to say that it's more than I expected for the price. Excellent reviews, tests and firmware posts.
My use is for general DXing with 2 BUDs and several fixed Ku dishes. Still using the Apr.9 FW that it came shipped with.
Unit is a quick scanner and provides a very good HD pic and crisp AC-3, AAC audio thru the RCA jacks without a FW change.
Very surprized that it could scan in the new Weigel channel on SES 1 in one pass as well as the 3720H on Gal 16 without any glitches
as some os my other receivers had trouble..
This unit seems very stable on all signals with very few exceptions on super weak AOR stuff.
One thing that I noticed is the limitation of the number of Sats one can store as been noted before in this forum.
I use all switches on NONE and 18V for each SAT stored with no problems with dupes or weird behavior from the X2 this way.
Also when renaming or re-configuring new SATs from their pre-stored position, I have to unplug and replug as it doesn't respond to saving new SAT labels all the time. When running low on SATs saved, I rename a slot for use of several - for example - AOR KU that I can scan several sats and store channels in that slot.
Overall great receiver and will be better with more memory.
