[QUOTE="MCelliotG, post: 1157061, member: 404726"] Unfortunately HD51 is based on gfutures, and the last driver update the manufacturer released, had a limitation of 0.25 which is the staple for Silabs. The previous version however had a 0.14 step which was unusual, still quite accurate. The issue is that even though the last driver revision enabled hardware blindscan, without a binary (like on SF8008 which has the exact same tuner), the results are hideous. Also the tuner became less snappy on very low SR. The previous driver could easily lock down to 185 and scan the frequency but had no blindscan at all enabled. Still to this day HD51 is quite decent and stable. I still use it as my main STB. [/QUOTE]
