AB-COM Pulse 4K Enigma2 FTA Receiver

Who are you emailing about blindscan?

I emailed them twice regarding blind scan capabilities and have yet to receive a response. Kind of reminds me of the PrismCube back in 2014 when I emailed them requesting blind scan info and never received a response.

Will try one more time, hopefully they will respond.

I don't expect the blindscan to be that great, and will probably need some work.
Will the Hauppauge ATSC tuners work? And if they don't work, will the distributor care enough to see that it is fixed?
Should have some answers in 10 days.

The Pulse 4K appears to have nothing in the receiver's files to support satellite blindscan. The receiver is advertised to have satellite blindscan, the build recipes list it as a feature, but no files to support satellite blindscan. Will be real interesting to me if the feature actually works setup like this. Most likely, the satellite blindscan feature is not available and will have to be added.

If satellite blindscan is not available then this will be the second receiver I have seen recently that advertises this feature and does not actually have it.

I used the web form on their site to request blind scan info. Also, emailed info request to:

Can I ask the question?
who was the first receiver that announced the blindscan, but did not have it?

have a good day

GigaBlue UE. No blindscan for that model.

Here is the latest Tracking:
Departed Facility in MIAMI GATEWAY - USA
August, 31 2021 21:22 Local time | MIAMI GATEWAY, FL - USA

That is not bad considering the Pulse 4K was Shipped Monday.
From Service Area: BRATISLAVA - SLOVAKIA
To Service Area: SMYRNA, GA - USA


I have had Very Good results with purchases from dvb market.com. The North American sellers should be supported whenever possible, but usually none of the North American Vendors has receivers like this. I doubt that changes...

Nice..... Hope the blind scan works.

I still haven't received any response to my email questions.

there is also a relatively complete test of the Pulse4K here

What I take away from this article: it doesn't read T2MI
they talk about fastscan but never about blindscan, I hope this is not a bad omen.

DHL delivered the Pulse 4K today. It has the makings of a decent receiver, but it will need some work.

Blindscan is ku only and uses the DMM file in the blindscan plugin folder. Blindscan does not seem to be available for the second tuner. It will take more time to see what blindscan does and does not do.

Hauppauge 955 atsc tuner seems to work correctly.

The Pulse 4K has a great picture on the few channels that have been tested so far.

Heroes, Decades, and Start TV are not "mixing" tonight on 101w c band.

The 1036 SR transponders on 95w c band play and lock easily.

I have only been using the receiver a couple of hours, with many minutes being spent on figuring out how to dump the Alpha image in the receiver. It was shipped with an ATV image from May that had many issues. The answer as a fix ended up being adding a working internet connection, upgrading to a current ATV image online, then flashing another slot with TNAP as shown.

Overall --with some work-- I think this receiver will work well for the North American satellites and terrestrial tv channels. We will see...
