Optibox Raptor HD

[el bandido]

I noticed what appeared to be gold plating on the tuner connectors. If true, This is the first fta receiver that I have seen with any gold in it in a long time. Gold and other precious metals is one of the first things I look for on a pc board. All of the Ali receivers I looked at have nothing more than silver in them. PC chips have a bit of gold, but it is on the inside of the chip and cannot be seen on the outside.


Here is a list of features that I have made. This list was taken from the owner's manual and other sources, and it may or may not be 100% correct. I will try to verify this list when I get the receiver.
The receiver is listed as having an intelligent blind scan. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean or if it is better or worse than our current Ali receivers. I am anxious to try it and see what it does!!! EB
