[QUOTE="paolik65, post: 541029, member: 298273"] The Echostar DVR7000 is OK for me for skewing purposes doing it by satellite is ok. The only problem of the Echostar is the lacking of the blind search that is very useful for a feed hunter. About the Pansat 3500sd two questions: what about using it in europe with american firmware ? I knew there were several problem. Second: apart the need of using a VBOX to control the 36v since it is just a DiseqC model it has the BIG missing of a Common Interface slot ! About the Manhattan Plaza 450 or 500 or 550, please, stay away from them if you have a polarotor or corotor !!! I own a 450 and even with the latest software it has several problem with polarotor and wide band lnb: - the blind search does not work correctly with wideband LNB since it works just on LNB1 and you have 4 LNB to set in this configuration. The skew is stored by LNB and NOT by trasponder so it is not possible to use it with the EGIS since with it the skew vary from one satellite to another as I said before. The + skew is related to V polarization and the - skew to H polarization complicating the situation with the EGIS that could even have - skew with V pol or + skew with H pol. In conlusion the Manhattan Plaza ST series is a onderful piece of hardware with a terrible bad and buggy firmware for mechanical polarizer and wideband lnb users !!! I don't see any receiver on the market that have all the features of my very good Echostar DVR7000 for EGIS and mechanical polarizer plus blind search capabilities and possibly High Definition support. These are sad days for feed hunter fanatics like me! Just a lot of commercial craps on the market and no professional quality serious receiver! :-( [/QUOTE]
