AB Cryptobox 650HD

[rrob311]

I just got this receiver tonight. It is larger than your average receiver. It boots to the proper TV mode so no troubles there. The blind scan is stepped where the transponders are scanned first and then the channels after. The blind scan is pretty fast and accurate. 2 minutes 6 seconds on 99w Cband. The scan works properly with my bandstacked LNB. There are a lot of multimedia functions on the box that I will be testing later this week when I have more time.

I like it let us know how good is the Blind Scan.

[rrob311]

Its pretty good. Comparable to the Triplex receiver but a little faster. The bandstacked blind scan works properly. I might be having a switching problem to my fixed Ku dish so I haven't been able to scan that one yet. I should be able to try more tonight. But so far it is a great receiver for the money. Easily in the top 5 of the receivers I own.

[rrob311]

The tuner sensitivity is pretty good. I just did some testing and it looks like the x2 edges it out so far.

I tried an x2 wifi adapter and it didn't recognize it. I will test the network functions later with either the ethernet port or if I can find a usb wifi stick that works with it.

How is the AB Cryptobox 650HD working out rrob311

[rrob311]

It is excellent so far. I haven't tried to update it or hook it up to the internet yet but I should be able to test it more in the next couple of days. Certainly worth what I paid. About 100$ shipped.

I am thinking about one of theses could you tell me where you got it Thanks
