Thank you guys,
At present I have at least 10 STBs available most of them are Pansats ( some were given to me by a friend/member of this fine forum ) Although some of the pansats have problems ( eg 9200hd) in my opinion they are easy to use and with most of the feature required for FTA testing.
This is the reason why I attempted to convert the S9 to be a Pansat 9500. Well... , I guess it is time to buy the 9500HDX.
Happy New year
