[QUOTE="BombedOne, post: 660905, member: 300998"] My personal stock of receivers is quite different from yours, but still, my info may be usable for someone. The best one - StarTrack SR55X/Globo 4100C/Neosat SX1600AAA - using ALI 3329C+Sharp tuner combination. Fastest blindscan speed. For example, it blindscans hotbird 13E faster, then many other receivers in general way. Next is SkyStar 2.3i card. Thanks to dedicated chip, low speed TP locking and blindscanning is excellent. Sensitivity is also good. The next bunch is Openbox 500-540-800-810. 5xx series having slightly better sensitivity than 8xx series. Clarketech HD5000C+ is also in this row. While it is also capable of blindscan, and more importantly, in DVB-S2 also, it's scanning speed is very low. SkyStar HD2 - real outperformer, weak sensitivity, often can't lock low SR TPs at all. Comag SL65/2CI - absolutely piece of junk, very very low sensitivity. Regarding sensitivity comparison, let me explain it more detailed. With above mentioned receivers, I never meet a situation, when one receiver does not pixelates at all, while another one is heavily pixelating. When the signal is weak, all receivers will drop frames/glitch sound, but some will drop less, some will drop more. Today I was experimenting with 26E in heavy rain, using motor fitted 1meter ofset dish. I've selected TP 12303, as one with lowest level here, but with high SR, to avoid tuner frequency locking issue. SR55X provided dropped/paused frame each 30-40 second. Clarketech - each 8-10 second. SkyStar HD2 was constantly dropping about 20% of frames. [/QUOTE]
