I ordered this receiver last Wednesday (May 9th) at noon and it arrived today (May 14th) direct from Hong Kong, China (mixeshop). Now that's what I call fast service!
It even arrived double wrapped for added protection. Now the testing begins.

Very Good!
You will be OK if the receiver is not DOA. This was supposed to be checked before it was shipped..

Once I hookup this receiver does the firmware need to be upgraded? If so, what version?

You'll be anazed at its blind scan feed but it will miss some tp. I usually keep Lyngsat as a reference in case U need to manually scan in a missed tp.

that would be tricky for wild feeds.
or am I being obtuse?

Wild feeds almost always scan in with the skybox- nothing is perfect though.

it once missed rtv on 83w.
I had an old sat list and wanted to upgrade to include pbj.
I scanned and it didn't find it.I had to manually scan that tp and then it found the channels.or am I being obtuse?
