Hi everybody,

I got this receiver a few days ago. I like it very much. The menus look identical to the F3/5 , but technomate say this receiver has a better tuner( I don't know since I don't have a TM F3/5}.

Unlike the previous TM5402M1, M2, this new 5402M3 doesn't have a fan( which is no problem, since it doesn't run hot).

The tuner is sensitive, it locks on all channels, and the blind scan is excellent and finds very low symbol rates. I did find that the tuner on the 5302 to be a little bit more sensitive than this box( but not by much).

Picture quality on this box is nice. The recording function on this box is very smooth, I was able to record long hours with no problem. You can also record IPTV into the external hard drive.

Over all, I'm very happy with this box.
