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.

I have heard that the M 2 and 3 models do not have as sensitive a tuner as the M 1 model. Looks like an excellent box though, enjoy and look forward to future posts satcrazy.

Vip3R, you are going to laugh when I tell you this, but that's one of the reasons why I always wanted to get this box. I used to love the coolsat, and is actually have an old Technomate SD in my closet. It's always been the best SD receiver that I have owned( it was faster then the coolsat).I've been wanting to get the 5402 for a long time, but because of the blind scan issue, I stayed away from it. When the this issue got fixed very recently, I decided to get it.
My original purchase was the 5402M2 (which has an identical menu like the coolsat ). But sadly I had the same issue with the e-bay seller that some of you had. I wasted a whole month trying to contact him, by the time I found the other seller, the 5402M2 was discontinued and replaced with this one.
Thankfully, it turned out to be a very good receiver, and I'm hopeful that they will improve the tuner sensitivity in the near future.Last edited by satcrazy; 05-26-2014 at 05:28 PM.

Funny, this receiver turned out to be my favourite of all that I have tested. I find its tuner as sensitive as the 5302 and its blind scan blows the 5302 away. Looking into the F3/5 but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
