I'm glad one finally arrived, I hope it's worth the wait..looking forward to seeing some menu's and how you like it..

A couple of pics of the spectrum analyser and NHK hd channel on Intelsat 21 at 58w. By the way, its blind scan is extremely fast without having to advance the step count like my Technomate 5302:

Will be interesting to see what the spectrum analyzer displays when you hit some of the data, 16, 32 and iptv transponders. Later when time permits, would be great if you posted pixs of the SA displaying a normal transponder vs. the ones mentioned.

I'll get around to it East, just getting familiar with my new toy, never had a receiver which displays signal quality in db level- kind of cool.

Costactc, How do you like the new DR. Whats the good, Whats the bad, Was it worth the wait. Any pic. Thanks, Big o.

I haven't finished testing the dr hd d15 yet but thus far I would say that this receiver has disappointed me with its tuner being less sensitive the the x2 premium. I am in the process of using a Clarke Tech satellite editor to put the proper orbital degree positions for sats in our part of the world. I will have an overall assessment later.

That's disappointing news. A while back I read on the Euro forums that this receiver was a very good item to have for blind scan and tuner sensitivity. I guess having high powered sats in your back yard helps.

The dr hd d15 is performing spot on on ku band. I have only tested it out on 5 sats thus far and it's scanning everything in and moving the dish flawlessly.

That would be its predecessor East, the F15 is supposed to have the most sensitive tuner that will give you a lock with only 2 db. The D15 requires at least a 4-5 db for a lock. Heavy rain at the moment and scanning Hispasat at 30w- most channels are saying no/bad signal- the technomate has all channels up. It's really cool to have a receiver that shows signal quality in db and that has a spectrum analyser as well. I will keep this unit on ku band until the new x2 is released and probably ship it downstairs on my 8' dish. For a dxer, tuner sensitivity means everything and this box is lacking.

I got the Clarke Tech editor to finally put all satellites from 8-125w. I will be testing it out on ku band with my motorised 4' dish and then I will make an overall assessment.
