The blue background with hand drawn dish is seen on the TM6800/6900 receivers, both of which have the same limitations of symbol rate, though they are very good in their own right.I would suspect those in charge found there was more profit in the 'hidden menu' and emulations, much like the Humax 5400 before it, rather than authorise a hardware change (along with components sourced from a third party supplier) that would benefit just a few, when MCPC viewing was the norm.Its been a long time since I looked at the reference books, but the 18/27MHz filters found in the tuners from Sharp, Alps and others would have struggled with transponders nearing a 1MS/s rate.</blockquote>
