[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1005846, member: 176704"] Just fired up the Freesat 8S, and had a "look around" - but can't go very far because I appear to have disturbed something in the cabling outside and movement under USALS won't work (and not with the Openbox either, so it's definitely some sort of cable problem, and it's now far too dark to try to find and fix it!). Impressions so far: - The Freesat boots up a lot quicker than the Opensat - but that might be because it is not fully set up yet. - The Freesat menus are generally a lot cleaner than the Opensat ones, and easier to use - but with one noted exception so far: you have to individually select every sat for which you want to use USALS and switch it on for each one, whereas with the Opensat you simply Select All and switch on USALS on the lot with a single button push on the remote (if that does also work with the Freesat, then can somebody tell me how?). - Unless I am mistaken so far, when the Freesat is scanning a sat transponder list all you see is the progress bar and any channels that have been found, whereas the Opensat shows a rolling list of the transponder Frequencies/Polarities/SR scanned, together with OK (channels found) or FAIL (no channels found) against each one.
