I received one of them today and installed it. It's small!
Also, it DOES have a built in IR sensor for the remote control in addition to the plugin external IR sensor. I don't remember seeing any mention of the built in sensor in any of the posted specs.
The serial number puts this one as 2016 manufactured. Also, it arrived with January of 2016 firmware.
The setup was easy. About the only thing I noticed missing was a multiple sat scan option. Its really not that much trouble to do them one at a time though.
I'll let it grind a way for a week or so before packing it away. The second one should be here by then. I'm using it along with a 4X1 and a 22khz switch on five separate dishes with an assortment of standard and universal LNBs. So far, so good....
