[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 645398, member: 325666"] Hi m8 .. Regarding the tuner sensitivity issue .. I really can't compare to much as I haven't access to other receivers. What I will say is that some of our friends on this group were quite surprised to hear that I could get a lockable signal at 53.5 N ...the assumption being I was too far North in the UK .. You could of course just put that down to the dish and lnb ...but I believe the tuner in the IPbox can take some credit .. I tried the same channels on an old Echostar receiver ..and the IPbox outperformed it. The only other receiver I have tried is my Humax HDCI2000 ..which also has a good tuner .. It too produces good watchable pictures between 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm on the vertical transponders...but of course that stb has no provision for recording. The IP9000HD has both .. a good tuner(s) and you can fit an internal hard drive for your recording needs .. recorded files can then ftp'd out off the drive for archiving. Hope this helps Perhaps others might comment regarding other receiver options ? rgds VS [/QUOTE]
