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

I would like to know where to find a hard drive to go on the inside of the receiver. I think the max is 1TB. Disc size should be 2.5 e-sata. I am having a hard time finding one like this. EB

It will be nice to have a 1 Terabyte drive installed in the receiver instead of having to fool with external wiring and hardware!!!

Intelligent blind scan!!! Now I understand!!!
The Raptor has a two step blind scan. First it scans for transponders. Then it scans for channels on the transponders it found. Nice!!!
Thanks for getting this Raptor fixed up for me. I will be setting it up and starting a review thread on it shortly!!! EB.

It used to be. The Pansat 9500 does it all in one step.
The Raptor just found about 70 channels at 30 West ku. I believe that is better than most receivers..
