I hope did fix the blind scan because the signal and scan on the 55 and 58 west compare to x2 premium II are no good

[tanka2]

I don't scan 55 and 58 because my Dish have snow . Tomorrow I do one scan and I give the reports

I flashed the new fw but I have yet to see any difference. Starting my scans all over as the info I saved will not flash back...no biggee.

A huge amount of iptv channels have been added, mainly foreign. I also noticed more movies were added.

They fixed the internet connection was dropping or not reconnecting after on/ off the box. They also added 3D movies. Looks like it was requested in the other side of the word.

I Loaded the March firmware last night . I didn't notice anything different. My internet is to slow for streaming so didn't check anything there. Was hoping the menu transparency control would be fixed along with a way to rename channels without all the guess work but didn't happen. The Premium lll tuner is also weaker than the Premium ll. I compared scans on a dual lnb same dish.

The internet connection does seem more stable. The films section has a new look.Besides that I have not spotted any change as yet. The blind scan still does not function except on a full scan which it does very well. A part scan hardly ever works.

I do like the feature to change satellites using the page up page down buttons. On a big dish precision is tricky so if you move to a satellite and the dish stops a wee bit short you can press the page up/down buttons to move to the next satellite and then back again to lock onto the signal. It saves having to go into the menu and choose the satellite you are at with the satellite selection menu and then go to the motor manual to move the dish. Incidentally the signal meter is a bit of a blunt instrument in fine tuning weak signals. I still use my Dr HD D15 to fine tune the dish to the optimum signal. Still, the X2 does find more channels in blind scan, especially when the feeds are grouped closely together and it is VERY fast.

I now find with the 2 receivers working in tandem I get a more satisfactory experience.

Andyx thank you for that post .Because my language not english .I don't explain everything I have.My problem are the same ones did you have.If that box did have the tuner of the two.I have the perfect receiver for me.Because the 55.5 west 61.1 and 58 west like until five years ago no problems but now on the s2 8psk and the qpsk I missing same channels.And my dish are about over twenty years old and only 8 ft very good align.
