You know if this box will do 4:2:2? Just curious as to how much it costs and where you could by one.
 
The Raptor,Anaconda and Alien most probably all are 4:2:2 capable. Pricing and where to buy information is still pending.

Team Amiko will be here to help with support, files and utility's.

More info to follow Costa....:yes2:

4:2:2 Is a video codec. it should not be a problem for the Optibox or for the Amiko Alien. We have support to make this happen if at all possible.
Information on where to buy one will be available soon. EB
 
That would be great if can do 4:2:2 right out of the stable or they will work with us to make it happen.Dolby E???? would be nice.
Always welcome for a new box that is way ahead of those openbox s9,s10,s12 or Manhattans...Tho am sure if being linux based like the AZ a new NA sat ch list is a must for us I wonder if the support will be equivelant to the AZ for editing programs.
 
I am building us a sat file, so we should have something to work with.
We have been told that there will be support for these receivers for us. I figure if 4:2:2 works on the Amiko 8900 then it will work or it can be made to work on the Optibox. My Amiko should be here next week so we will have to wait and see....EB

Sat file...Start at Atlantic Bird @ 5 deg thru AMC 8 @ 139.Dolby E Would be 1 up on the AZ.:fishing:

Upload a sat file that you have scanned with these birds in it and I will work on it. I stop at 30W so I do not know what is available or what transponders are active below 30W. Plus, I do not scan much below 61.0W either. EB
 
Attached is a .pdf file that shows the various tuner configurations for the Raptor.

This receiver has removable tuners that install similar to a pc card. This allows the owner to change the tuner configuration if desired. The Optibox tuners can support cable, terrestrial (OTA tv), and satellite services. You can have any two of these three services.


 
I noticed what appeared to be gold plating on the tuner connectors. If true, This is the first fta receiver that I have seen with any gold in it in a long time. Gold and other precious metals is one of the first things I look for on a pc board. All of the Ali receivers I looked at have nothing more than silver in them. PC chips have a bit of gold, but it is on the inside of the chip and cannot be seen on the outside.


Here is a list of features that I have made. This list was taken from the owner's manual and other sources, and it may or may not be 100% correct. I will try to verify this list when I get the receiver.
The receiver is listed as having an intelligent blind scan. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean or if it is better or worse than our current Ali receivers. I am anxious to try it and see what it does!!! EB

INTELLIGENT BLIND SCAN!!!!! once you get your hand on it then you will really understand El Bandido :)

Just curious as the difference between intelligent blind scan and the regular blind scan that were accustomed to on our receivers.
 
I would like to know where to find a hard drive to go on the inside of the receiver. I think the max is 1TB. Disc size should be 2.5 e-sata. I am having a hard time finding one like this. EB
 
Code: 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136545

I think the drive in the link will work.
It will be nice to have a 1 Terabyte drive installed in the receiver instead of having to fool with external wiring and hardware!!!

Intelligent blind scan!!! Now I understand!!!
The Raptor has a two step blind scan. First it scans for transponders. Then it scans for channels on the transponders it found. Nice!!!
Thanks for getting this Raptor fixed up for me. I will be setting it up and starting a review thread on it shortly!!! EB
 
It used to be. The Pansat 9500 does it all in one step.
The Raptor just found about 70 channels at 30 West ku. I believe that is better than most receivers.
