Mailman came a knocking about 1/2 hour ago. My X2 Premium hd just arrived. It came with an hdmi cable, composite cable, wireless adaptor and 2 remotes. The X2 will take the place of my openbox x5 on my c band feed and once I determine which of the 2 I prefer most will remain for c band:

Mine also came in the mail today! COOL! I didn't get an HDMI cable though. :(
BOO.
Oh well I have plenty.

Trying to get the NA sat file in it with the Jan 5th update.

I like to create my own sat lists manually.

OH?? I'll try that. Don't know how far I'll get?? This is my first receiver since a Micro Royal 10 years ago! No scans at all! I wish it did have scans it's so easy!

My x2 is fully equipped with a NA sat list.

Just wondering if there is a way to see what video input were seeing? I can see the blue hd box when I press info but how would I know if it's 720p or 1080i for example?

If there is a way to do that I haven't found it yet. I've been playing with mine for about two weeks now.

I have never seen that info. most of the HD channel indications are incorrect also. Hopefully they can fix this because it is annoying. Scan 97w ku and see how many say hd.

I noticed that yesterday on the Fox channel on tp 3720 on Galaxy 16 as being indicated as sd and my azbox has it as s2/8psk. I like the menu setup and its real fast blind scan but I do hope the video resolution info is addressed. I also noticed that the clock hasn't lost any time since I set it up yesterday.

Lets add this request on the request section so Vip3r can send it to Xsat. Also, how did you set the clock ??

GMT off, set up the time and date manually.

This is the same way I do it but when I change from sat to sat and turn the box off it does keep the time but the date goes back to 1970

Just tried it out Carlos, retains the time but defaults back to 1970. This receiver, as most, is a bit buggy but if they can address these minor issues I would keep this as my main scanner for c band.

We need to make sure they get our request/ feedback!

I'm told a new file is expected late next week to address Motor issues, I'm not sure what else will be included, They have our list of goodies we would like where possible.

Just don't shoot the messenger if we don't see it then.. I have never liked timelines and prefer things are corrected if possible and done right and not rushed.

Totally agree Viper, the x2 has impressed me and I have been through about 10 stb just this past year. I plan on being extremely patient with this receiver.

If the communication is there we will be more than happy to wait!!

Mine does the same thing with the date! Oh well I can live with a few bugs!! As a whole it is an excellent receiver and does very well! I mean for 53 bucks it's a steal in my eyes! It is really impressive! I might buy another one to have a spare. Either that or try the X7??
