[QUOTE="aceb, post: 755630, member: 268811"] I'm using the Prof Tuners 7301, sensitivity is very good as far as I can tell, it copes with weak signals well, the only comparisons I've been able to make are against my Skystar 2 V2.3 and and even older Nokia 9500 so not exactly a real test. It was recommended as being sensitive and is marketed as such but I've no way of confirming just how sensitive. The best place to read about the card and LOTS of information on Crazy cats blindscan and spectrum sweep (crazyscan) software is on Ricks Wildfeed and backhaul forum. There's also a nice front end app for CCs software now but I'm kinda used to the DOS box BS screen. The software only supports these cards due to the type of demod chip used on them. Omicom S2 PCI rev.3 (all demod versions), Prof 7301, Prof 8000, Prof 7500, TechnoTrend S2-1600, TBS6925 v1 & 2. I just downloaded the latest version from CCs website, not really noticed it TBH. It does, it was the last thing I scanned before I had to tear myself away to deal with more mundane issues like cooking dinner. I've given a brief break down below of what I've managed so far. VS, did the solar noon set up as advised and double checked the pole was vertical so that much is done, I think I'm going to invest in a Ku LNB and set the arc up with that, lots more targets at the edges and less tolerance means I can really fine tune it. So far I've managed to get (TV stations) 32 stations/11transponders on 5W, 2 stations/1 transponder on 11W, 17 stations/2 transponders on 22W, 17 stations/4 transponders on 27.5W and 46 stations/22 transponders on 40W plus one mystery. It must be around 18-20W and has two transponders 3647 4123 1/2 and 3806 13000 4/5, both appear to be either data or empty. There maybe satellites in between that will produce some results but I've not had chance to go looking yet, nor have I tried anything east. It looks like the weather is going to be beat me this weekend so I'll order the V box ready for another go next week. [/QUOTE]
