[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1086289, member: 178786"] Over the years I have probably allocated quite a bit of time to get familiar with E2 receivers but still do not use any on a regular daily basis. My main use of a hobby receiver is blind scanning/feed hunting for which I use a Dr HD F15 or a Technomate TM-5402 (M3). I have an Edision Nino Pro E2 receiver but only use it if I have a need for DVB-S2X. [USER=206094]@subman[/USER] One option would be to get a second hand Technomate TM-5402 (M3) from somewhere like eBay just as a quick and low cost re-entry back into scanning and getting a feel for things as they are nowadays. This will provide mpeg4 functionality and should offer a pain free experience due to ease of use. The TM-5402 (M3) is capable of menu configuration to accept input from C-Band, Ku-Band and Ka-Band LNB's, as are most receivers nowadays. I have a spare TM-5402 (M3) sitting here doing nowt, you are welcome to borrow it for a month or two if you wish. After that you could explore options for a second receiver offering increased functionality such as 4K and DVB-S2X. Alternatively, check out some of the Octagon topics on the forum, "Wiliam-1" is the resident guru on these receivers and should be able to provide advice on choice of a model based on your needs. Most blind scanners/feedhunters have two or three receivers, it is easy to build up a collection, you get drawn in by the latest models as they are released with promises of better tech. As regards C-Band content, 68.5E, 40.0E 38.0E, 20.0E, 10.0E, 40.5W and 55.5W all contain a reasonable number of frequencies. If you have line of sight to 68.5E it has quite a lot of general viewing as well as feeds. There are a lot of satellites across your arc with C-Band content, the 7 I have listed are the ones that come to mind immediately as having quite a few frequencies. [/QUOTE]
