I believe the furthest coverage is 53East to 43 West on the pole as it stands. This has replaced the trusty TM1500 Mk 2 with blind search as I found it ran out of capacity after just half the arc was scanned.The dish is a 63 cm offset on a USALs motor, on the front end is a standard Ku band universal from Inverto.Upon completion of the scan I have just over 6400 channels including radio,Last night I asked the receiver to start on a auto navigation blind scan and went to bed.This morning the receiver is still ploughing through and is now up to around 80% of the arc,  and on the new search has found just over 6700, and is steadily rising.Whilst I can see there are some duplications (when searching for Amos for example the receiver has caught some channels from the 5West slot, and the same with one other position), the list is more or less what I would expect.Question 1. - With the TM5402 having a claimed 10000 channel limit, am I likely to exceed this before the second search ends, or have I already exceeded it with the first and second searches combining in the memory ? (in which case I may as well stop it now).Question 2. - I haven't added orbital slots that are currently not in the memory (47.5, 46, 44.5 East, and 34.5 and 47West for example). In adding these to the memory and search, will I come up against a similar channel limitation, or possibly a maximum satellite limit the receiver han cope with ?Question 3. - I will eventually use the receiver to run off the 1.8m on the roof which has coverage from roughly 66 east to 60 West, and have already strapped a C band LNB to the front end alongside the existing Ku unit. What is the likely channel numbers I can expect from this setup ?Question 4 - What have others here received in terms of the maximum number of independent channels (including feeds) from a similar setup, and have they exceeded the limit of their receiver in doing so ?Thanks in advance</blockquote>
