[QUOTE="BombedOne, post: 597976, member: 300998"] Currently I have Octagon SF918HD, and it really annoys me, due to lack of logical features that cheap $30 receiver has. The functions I need from an HD receiver: 1. Work in both C/Ku band flawlessly (For example, Kathrein UFS910 DOES NOT, there's no input for LOF 5150 in it) 2. Diseqc 1.1/1.2 cascading (Not available in octagon) 3. Fully automatic blind scan (not available in octagon) 4. PVR availability to USB MTP in non proprietary format, For example, for octagon you need to format HDD in specific format, only understandable by receiver. And Topfield PVR receivers don't record decoded stream, so if you remove orginal card, you can't watch what you've recorded. 5. Normaly working CI module (not available in octagon) 6. No problems with TP scan/sensitivity (Like problems that DM800/8000 have) Well, someone may say, that I'm asking too much and "have to wait", BUT! I know at least several models of non-hd receivers right now, which support ALL of these features - For example, Openbox 770CI has it all. So why is it problem to implement these SIMPLE features in HD receivers, or this is marketing trick, to suck out as much money as they can from us, or maybe I've searched not so deeply, and there's model which has ALL these features?
